In this episode, we discuss how culture and cognition shape network ties, the value of data science, and how sociology can bridge structure and meaning.

Socio-cognitive networks between researchers: Investigating scientific dualities with the group-oriented relational hyperevent model
Understanding why researchers cite certain works remains a key question in the study of scientific networks. Prior research has identified factors suc…

4/n 📌 Highlights:
– Citations favor recent & cognitively consistent work
– Tight coauthoring groups are co-cited more often
– Citation behavior is not just individual: it’s embedded in collaboration networks
– Citations favor recent & cognitively consistent work

3/n Our data: Chilean astronomers (2013–2015)
🔧 Method: Relational Hyperevent Model (captures group-based events like coauthoring and citing)
💡 Key insight: Coherent groups of coauthors are more likely to be co-cited together — social structure reinforces cognitive links.

2/n We ask: Why do researchers cite what they cite?
Beyond content relevance, we consider how social ties (coauthorship) and cognitive continuity shape citation choices.
Think of citation as the tip of a longer collaborative and intellectual process.
