Research on the Two-Mode Networks in the Field of Library&Information Science:Concepts,Context,and Applications
Two-mode networks are capable of mining the rich information in many complex network scenarios in a com-prehensive,in-depth,and detailed manner.As the network comprising the many research objects in the field of Library&Information Science has a naturally dichotomous property,the application of two-mode networks in this field has yielded better research results.This study provides a systematic overview of the current state of research on two-mode networks in the field of Library&Information Science.First,we define the concepts related to two-mode networks,including affilia-tion and bipartite networks.Second,the research lineage of two-mode networks is clarified,including the respective re-search methods,basic processes,and application scenarios.Third,we summarize the logic of applying two-mode networks in fields related to knowledge management and discovery,scientific cooperation and academic evaluation,information dis-semination and network public opinion,user needs,and information services.Finally,the research prospects of two-mode networks in the field of Library&Information Science are explored,contributing to the basic method for the construction of a discipline system for information resource management.
