Field methods paper: lit review and comments

[alberto]

Third paper: Carpenter-Li-Jiang, Social Network Research in Organizational Contexts: A Systematic Review of Methodological Issues and Choices

I struggle to understand how this is relevant! A community is not an organization, and it does not make sense to do Burt 1997-style analysis on it (or does it? At least, it should be discussed).

Second, I would focus more on the structural features of the social network that you have developed which could support your claims about ‘clear core-periphery structure’. In your manuscript, you make use of the Louvain modularity but this should be explained and justified a bit more. I would also encourage you to explore other measures as well such as degree centrality and cluster co-efficient (see Carpenter and Jiang (2012) for a review).

I conclude that this paper does not need to be read too closely, or indeed at all. More than lit review, this is meant to be used as an example of how we could use many network measures on our data, but don’t. I would assign the task of writing 1-2 paragraphs on this to @melancon.
