Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

In recent years, social network research has advanced significantly with the rapid development of online social websites and instant messaging systems. People increasingly perceive the Web as a social medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution.

IJSNM addresses important aspects of interest to practitioners and researchers with a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with using data mining techniques for social networking analysis. The journal solicits experimental and theoretical work on social network analysis using data mining techniques, including:

  • data mining advances in:
    • the analysis of social networks structures
    • the discovery and analysis of communities
    • personalisation for solitary activities (such as search) and social activities (such as discovery of potential friends)
    • the analysis of user behaviour in open forums (such as conventional sites, blogs and forums) and
    • commercial platforms (such as e-auctions) and on the associated security and privacy-preservation challenges
  • social network modelling
  • scalable, customisable social network infrastructure construction
  • dynamic growth and evolution, and
  • pattern identification and discovery using machine learning approaches or multi-agent based simulation

Papers should elaborate on data mining or related methods, and issues associated to data preparation and pattern interpretation, both for conventional data (usage logs, query logs, document collections) and for multimedia data (automatic indexing of images, video, and sound).

 Go Top  Objectives

The objective of IJSNM is to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex role of social network mining in society.

 Go Top  Readership

IJSNM provides a vehicle to help professionals, intelligence agencies, academics, researchers and policy makers working in the fields of knowledge management, engineering and business education to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
