What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Social science
- Statistics
- Artificial intelligence
Social psychology, Random walk closeness centrality, Centrality, Social network and Betweenness centrality are his primary areas of study.
His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cognitive psychology, Perception and Filling-in.
The concepts of his Cognitive psychology study are interwoven with issues in Structural holes, Score and Interpretability.
His study brings together the fields of Katz centrality and Random walk closeness centrality.
Linton C. Freeman is studying Network controllability, which is a component of Betweenness centrality.
His studies in Network controllability integrate themes in fields like Theoretical computer science, Girvan–Newman algorithm and Degree.
His most cited work include:
- Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification (10511 citations)
- A set of measures of centrality based on betweenness (6073 citations)
- The Development of Social Network Analysis: A Study in the Sociology of Science (1026 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Social psychology, Centrality, Structure, Social network and Structure.
His work carried out in the field of Social psychology brings together such families of science as Cognitive psychology, Empirical research and Perception.
His Random walk closeness centrality and Katz centrality study, which is part of a larger body of work in Centrality, is frequently linked to Measure, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His study on Random walk closeness centrality is covered under Betweenness centrality.
His research on Betweenness centrality focuses in particular on Network controllability.
In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Structure, Theoretical computer science, Clique and Social group.
He most often published in these fields:
- Social psychology (27.40%)
- Centrality (10.96%)
- Structure (9.59%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?
- Structure (9.59%)
- Social network (9.59%)
- Knowledge management (4.11%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Linton C. Freeman focuses on Structure, Social network, Knowledge management, Social psychology and Organizational network analysis.
His Structure study overlaps with Theoretical computer science and Geometry.
His work on Social network analysis is typically connected to Natural and Movement as part of general Social network study, connecting several disciplines of science.
Linton C. Freeman performs integrative Knowledge management and Network structure research in his work.
His Social group study, which is part of a larger body of work in Social psychology, is frequently linked to Group, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Linton C. Freeman has researched Organizational network analysis in several fields, including Social network analysis and Sociology of scientific knowledge.
Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- The Development of Social Network Analysis: A Study in the Sociology of Science (1026 citations)
- Maintaining the duality of closeness and betweenness centrality (84 citations)
- The Development of Social Network Analysis—with an Emphasis on Recent Events (50 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social science
- Statistics
- Artificial intelligence
His scientific interests lie mostly in Data analysis, Intuition, Computational model, Cognitive science and Social relation.
