Abstract:Background
This study analyzed the interactions between agencies, policies, and the interest of the public using a social network analysis.
Methods
Open data on the 2017 Facebook fan page of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MoHW) in Taiwan, including 18,193 messages, were analyzed by conducting a social network analysis, NodeXL (Network Overview, Discovery and Exploration for Excel), creating visualized explorations using size volumes to present the degree of strength between agencies and policies to furt… Show more
“…We then calculated the graph metrics to understand the size, connectivity and the attributes of the network, based on in-degree and out-degree centrality (Hansen, Shneiderman & Smith, 2010). In-degree centrality is used to measure the importance of individuals in the network graph and can be used to investigate the information trends of the entire social network graph and the possibility of individuals controlling resources (Huang & Chiu, 2020). Its purpose is to find important individuals in the network (Chong & Kim, 2020).…”

“…If the minimum indegree is 0, it means that a vertex does not receive any replies or mentions. Out-degree centrality represents the number of relations vertices sending to other vertices (Huang & Chiu, 2020). When the minimum out-degree is 0, it means that a vertex does not send out any tweets or replies.…”
