Co-citation and cluster analyses of extant literature on social networks

Abstract: Over one billion people are currently using social media such as social websites (Facebook Newsroom 2015); consequently, numerous academic scholars have developed interest in studying the use of social media and social networks. However, few studies have focused on examining the core factors of social networks.
