Research and Application of Digital Humanities with Social Network Analysis

Abstract

Social network analysis is one of the methods of digital humanistic analysis. In this paper, we take the digital resources of contract documents of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as research data, and MATLAB as research tool, to carry out social network analysis and visualization. Through data processing, we can effectively acquire network nodes and network degree data, fit the power-law distribution based on the number of participants, detect and categorize legit community, and reveal the characteristics and structure of digital humanities and social network in digital resources.
