Call for abstracts
Session on Communication Networks
Since the subject of communication is relational by definition, SNA is gaining increasing importance to study the structure of communication infrastructure, content, actors, and processes. The session on communication networks welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions describing the overall structure of the networks (e.g., polarization), discussing specific roles (e.g., opinion leaders) or analysing dynamic processes (e.g., selection or diffusion of information). The subject of analysis may include networks of individuals using different media technologies or content, organizations that are producing, distributing or regulating media, infrastructure through which communication is transmitted, and the structure between distinct entities of communication (websites, articles, tweets etc.).
Abstracts are limited to 500 words, not including the title, and should not contain references. You will be asked to indicate “Communication Networks” as your preferred session and to designate a speaker. Contributors are restricted to one presentation but may be co-authors of multiple submissions. Presentations are allocated 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion.
