研究了中国410个不同社会使命的非政府组织之间的超链接网络，发现制度因素（如召集人和法律注册状态）导致组织间同质性超链接效应，影响集体行动和公民社会发展。

They influence which actors and what aspects of social issues are made visible to the public in search engine results. To understand how contextual forces and institutional pressures influence who hyperlinks to whom online, this research examines a hyperlink network of 410 NGOs with various social missions operating across China. It suggests that institutional factors external to the network impact the structure of NGO hyperlink networks. In particular, institutional convener and legal registration status induce homophily hyperlinking effects among organizations, controlling for network interdependencies and other organizational attributes.
