New Frontiers in Network Theory Development
本专题论坛包含十一篇论文，覆盖微观、中观、宏观和元分析层面，旨在推动有效网络构建的理论发展，并指出网络理论在范围、可及性、整合及国际化方面的研究空白。
This special topic forum, commissioned to stimulate theory development on building effective networks, contains eleven papers spanning the micro, meso, macro, and meta levels of analysis. Each paper breaks new ground; collectively, they suggest that we are at a crossroads in network research. Important opportunities remain, however, for further work in network theory development, and we highlight major gaps relating to network theory's scope and mission, accessibility, integration with other perspectives, and attention to process and internationalization issues.
