The role of social capital in information systems research productivity. by Teo, Jerryca Hui Zhong., Peh, Chun Boon., Ong, Su Yi.

“…In examining this relationship, this study draws on social capital theory and a dataset consisting of 929 journal articles yielding information on a combined total of 184 top IS researchers in a basket of five IS journals. Social capital, in this study, was operationalized using measures derived from social network analyses: percentage of weak components (a network measure of social capital based on the structural holes theory), ego betweenness (an individual measure of social capital drawn from the structural holes theory) and two-step reach (an individual measure of social capital based on the weak ties theory). …”
