[Air-L] Literature on Networks and Online Health Communities

[Sugar, Benjamin N]

Hi everyone,

There is a fair amount of work on interactions in these communities between individuals and the group as a collection of individuals.  There is also a lot of work on networks and expertise communities (e.g. Q&A, wikipedia, open source software lists), but as some of the aforementioned work points out, expertise in OHC’s are only part of the dynamics.

Any recommendations on papers that address networks and online health communities?
