Interpretation of Reporting Standards for Contemporaneous Network Analysis
Objective Network analysis provided a novel perspective and approach to explore the relationships among variables,with advantages in analyzing the complex relationships among multiple variables.Ihe majority of original research in network analysis was based on cross-sectional data of contemporaneous networks.However,the current general reporting standards for statistical analysis failed to meet the specific requirements of network analysis research.Addressing this issue,a research team from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands focused on developing reporting standards specifically for contemporaneous network analysis.These standards consisted of 8 items for general analysis procedures of methods and results,as well as 10 items for special analysis procedures.This paper aims to introduce these reporting standards,and interprets it with specific examples,to assist researchers in China in standardizing their reports on this type of study,ultimately enhancing the scientific rigor and consistency of research reports.
