A Case Analysis on Safety Researcher Relationship during 2011-2013
Safety management is becoming one of the most hot research issues in Korea. We collected the
researcher information in two safety related journals of the journal of the Korea safety management &
science and the journal of Korean society of safety. Social network analysis was used to analyse the
research relationship among the authors in each journal. The degree centrality, the betweenness
centrality, the closeness centrality and the proximity prestige centrality on each researcher were
calculated to find out most influenced researcher. Biggest research groups in each journal were
introduced by clustering technique.
