I created a starter pack for social network analysis, since this one was still missing.
LMK if you want to be added! (I'll like the comment after adding you.)
Also, check out the other starter packs for network science and complexity (so this is more social science).

Excellent advice on paper review:

1. Peer reviewers are volunteers.

2. Map all comments to actions.

3. Address all comments.

4. Focus on improving your paper, instead of arguing.

5. Rarely, and only with strong defense, say no.

6. Don’t take things personally.

7. Avoid recreational revisions.

(b) Because the question establishes the relevance of the endeavor. In a way the answer doesn't. So maybe that's the answer. Or my answer.

Jan Fuhse @fuhsejan.bsky.social · 15d
Yep.
However.
Your question got me thinking: I recently published an article with the question how can theories represent social phenomena? as its title. Why did I do this? (a) Because the answer is way more complicated and wordy than the question. Which I already had a hard time getting right.

Just out in Social Networks w. @snannabell.bsky.social:
The Duality of Network Ties and Attributes.
As part of the special issue on duality, we argue that the principle applies to multi-modal network data. It allows relating different types of tie and other dyadic attributes.

Excited to share that my dissertation has now been published with @velbrueckw.bsky.social: www.velbrueck.de/Programm/The...

It looks at how society became a concern for the climate sciences and how climatological theories of society have evolved since the mid-19th century.

Now out in Social Networks

Network analysis aspires to be “anticategorical,” yet its basic units—relationships—are usually readily categorized ('friendship,' 'love'). Thus, a nontrivial cultural typification is asserted in the very building blocks of most network analyses.
