Watts and Strogatz cited 27 references in their study which were spread across such subjects as math, natural science including ecology  and psychology. They themselves were cited a total of 8,749 times and those citations were mostly concentrated in the fields of physics followed by math and computer. The top 3 authors citing Watts and Strogatz’s work were Cheng GR (1.116 %), Wang BH (1.043 %) and Zhou T (0.999 %).

The areas utilizing the most citations for this work is the field of physics (46.872 %) which is almost half of the total results. The next two largest fields are computer science (14.244 %) followed by math (10.382 %). Over the years and up until 2013 the pattern of citations has shown a continuous upward trend which shows that this study is still highly relevant and useful even today.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you click the Like button on Facebook? Or retweet something you like on Twitter? Or subscribe to your favorite YouTube channel? A couple instances of this mindless act may not have any significant effects. However, with all of instances of you performing these actions; imagine how much information about you is being shared over the internet. Douglas Rushkof in Generation Like explains how this data may be used against us. However, I think this scenario is more harmful than what’s shown on the surface.

Social media users, including myself, benefit from these social platforms. We use it to keep in touch with old friends and family and to meet new friends. However, I believe this benefit is short lived. Some social media platforms claimed that user information, upon request, will remain private. How many people do you know actually knows how to turn on the privacy settings on Facebook, Twitter, or other social medias? Even if the information is hidden from public view, what is stopping from these websites/firms from selling off your information to a third party? The more established firms, like Facebook, may not do this publicly because their reputation is on the line. However, what is stopping a website/company that is on the edge of bankruptcy from doing this?

I believe it is time to revert back to the traditional way of keeping in touch with people; in person. Why not treat your friend to lunch instead of a Facebook message? Or mail your girlfriend a birthday card instead of texting her with emoji smileys? Perhaps bring your coworker a wedding invitation instead of a simple invite over email? With the lowered transaction cost, some actions performed over the internet won’t transcript the same sincerity (or insincerity) as you have hoped for in an in person interaction. Generation Like mentioned that some people require therapy to ease their technology addiction. Despite what the therapy methodologies may be, I believe the most effective solution is human interactions.

Watts and Strogatz in their article “Collective Dynamics of ‘Small-World Networks” has cited 27 other sources. The subjects of the 27 articles cited by them can be characterized as math and sciences. Watts and Strogatz’s article has been cited by 8709 other articles. It is popular amongst the Physics multidisciplinary sciences with a record count of 1622 citations. Along with the physics multidisciplinary sciences would be the computer sciences with 135-303 citations. The articles that cites this article the least are in the environmental and biological sciences category with less than 150 citations. The top three authors that cited the paper were Chen, Gr, Wang, BH and Zhou, T.  The statistics of the pattern of citations predicts that the numbers will only go up as time passes as it already looks that way.

The top three authors that cited Watts and Strogatz’s article were Chen, Gr. (76 times), Wang, Bh. (71 times), and Zhou T. (68 times). Most of the citations were under physics disciplinary.

Watts and Strogatz cited 27 articles that ranged from physics multidisciplinary and mathematical to computer science information systems. The article itself was cited 8749 times. The top three authors who cited Watts and Strogatz’s article were Chen Gr, Wang Bh, and Zhou T. The journals that tend to cite this article the most were in areas of physics, sciences and mathematics while the least being tropical medicine, surgery and spectroscopy. There is an upward trend of number of citations (ie. it actually went up 40 times within 2 days this year).

Watts and Strogatz ‘s text was cited 27 times according to the citation tracker. We found that the article itself was used by other authors 8,749 times. The type of works that Watts and Strogatz cited themselves were math and science.

The title of this article is Collective Dynamics of “Small-World” Networks. The article is related to physics and sciences. Watts and Strogatz use 27 cited references to write this article. This article was cited  8749 times. Chen Gr, Wang Bh, and Zhou T are the top 3 authors who cite this article. Physic journals are most cited and natural science is a moderate amount. Also this article was cited by article that dealing with society at the least. Since book was published, the number of citations is increasing ever year.

For their article on small world networks, Watts and Strogatz cited 27 sources.  Interestingly enough, a lot of these sources were in the biology field.  Many sources, in turn, cited this article (8,749).  The top 3 authors were G.R. Chen, B.H. Wang, and T. Zhou.  And the kinds of journals that tend to cite this article the most are undoubtedly physics.  Journals that cite it a moderate amount include computer science, mathematics, and engineering.  Journals that cite it the least include pathology, paleontology, and electrochemistry.  The pattern of citations over time has steadily increased until this year, 2014.  The amount of citations this year extrapolated over the whole 12 month period, though, is still going to be less than 2013.  This may suggest new data has been found to supplant or supercede information in this article.

They were cited 8,749 times, mostly in physics and other sciences and they cited others 27 times, the articles that they cited can be generally characterized as Science: physics, psychology, mathematics and many more.

The top 3 authors that cite Watts and Strogatz are G.R Chen, B.H Wang and T. Zhou. Articles that are about science, physics and mathematics tend to cite Watts and Strogatz article. The journals that cite Watts and Strogatz the most is Physics Multidisciplinary, moderate citing in the Multidisciplinary Sciences area, and least citing in Biomedical, Nutrition and many more related to that field. It seems that the articles that cite Watts and Strogatz the most are the ones about physics and although other since related topics cite them there is a big difference in the amount of reference to their article.

Watts and Strogatz cited 27 sources in their article. On the other hand. Watts and Strogatz was cited 8,709 times by other authors. Of the 8,709 instances of citation, a large portion of it were general science related in the fields related to physics and computer science.

Watts and Strogatz cited 27 sources. The disciplines and subjects that are cited seem to revolve around biology in terms of infectious diseases, genetic algorithms, nerves and cellular events. There were also a couple of sources that deals with psychology and spatial relations. This article is cited 8749 times and the top 3 authors who cite this article are Chen GR, Wang BH and Zhou T. The subjects that tend to cite this article are multidisciplinary physics, mathematical physics and physics of fluid plasmas. Over time it seems as though the article is cited more, in 2007 the percentage of citations was 8.343% (of the total citations) and in 2013 it was 13.925%, thus showing an increase in the times the article is cited over time.

The article was cited 8749 times, most frequently by physicists, and scientists. Therefore, the journals that published this article are all scientifically affiliated.

The article is titled “Collective Dynamics of Small-world networks”. In terms of physics, perhaps this article is explaining the physical connectedness we feel from being in a small network together. I suppose through relativity and energy (the few physics terms I know).

In this article, Watts and Strogatz cited 27 references. These citations are in reference to science and math related sources, such as nature, biology, ecology, and mathematical biosciences.
In addition, Watts and Strogatz’s article was cited 8,749 times. The top three authors who cite Watts and Strogatz’s article were Chen Gr, Wang Bh, and Zhou T. Citations regarding this article increased gradually over time.
