Description

Networks can describe many different types of relationships and interactions. Networks are often used in the sciences to describe everything from disease transmission to brain networks, cell signalling events and dependencies, and gene cascades. More and more everyday social relationships are described in terms of networks, including relationships on social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn and on the microblogging platform, Twitter. The relatively recent empasis in academic circles to focus upon researcher networking platforms and features to promote discovery and collaboration has also highlighted co-author and co-investigator networks in platforms.
