NOTE: Each Presentation Is Exceptional / I Believe That The Third (By
Johan Bollen) Will Be Of Great Value To Those Interested In Online
Social Networks ; Social Network Analysis ; Bibliometrics ;
Scientometrics ; Metrics ; Etc. 

 

May I Recommend That You Listen To Each At Least Three (3) Times ...
