Sažetak
This paper describes an emerging strategy called social network analysis (SNA) and points out some of its possible implications. SNA is an interdisciplinary technique developed under many influences and the most important ones came from mathematics and computer science. Mathematical graph theory is used for modelling social networks and it is a starting point for many of the most fundamental ideas of SNA. The paper gives an overview of main concepts of SNA such as local centrality (degree), betweenness, global centrality (closeness), density and centralization. Also, the mathematical notation of the most important indicators of SNA are presented in the paper. The main research question was to determine the prevalence of SNA in scholarly publications in last decade across different scientific areas and different geographical areas. According to obtained empirical data the usage of SNA strategy in scholarly publications has ascending pathway.
