Examining the core knowledge on facebook
Abstract
Abstract Social networks have become an indispensable activity in people’s lives. A number of previous studies have investigated various social networks and probed in the core knowledge of integrated social networks. While social network knowledge is general and extensive, few studies have delved into the core knowledge of individual social networks, especially Facebook, which is a social network with over 1.7 billion users worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to elaborate on the core knowledge of Facebook. In this study, a total of 4429 relevant academic papers were collected from the Web of Science, an online electronic database. Then, citation analysis and co-citation analysis were adopted to identify 50 highly cited academic papers to form a co-citation matrix. Finally, cluster analysis and multi-dimensional scaling analysis were employed to determine the core knowledge of Facebook. The research results showed that there are six points of core knowledge: (1) the behavior analysis of users; (2) the social impact of social networks; (3) the influence and application of Facebook in universities; (4) the evaluation of use motivation and theoretical models; (5) privacy risk and interpersonal impression; and (6) the strategies of social networks. The research results could be useful for academic studies and practice in the future.

“Hence, how to improve and maintain self-image and interpersonal relationships (Walther 1996) through social media, and how to reduce negative comments to realize the original purposes of using social networks, remain an essential research direction for future researchers.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
