Abstract  

[Objective] To study how the star role and broker role in social media knowledge collaboration network effect on knowledge dissemination. [Methods] This paper constructs knowledge collaboration network using 197 related biological knowledge samples from Wikipedia, analyzes the relevant indicators of knowledge nodes by social network analysis tools and studies model estimation using statistical methods. [Results] Star units in the network center position and broker units having more structural holes could get better dissemination effects. The scale of the node's fans group collaboration in the network plays a half intermediary role in social media knowledge dissemination. [Limitations] Samples are limited to the knowledge nodes in biological science field, and from the perspective of the overall network, whether boundary selection and discipline affect the study remains to be further analyzed. [Conclusions] The advantages of star nodes and broker nodes play a direct role on knowledge dissemination and an indirect role by the media effect of the fan group.

Key wordsSocial media knowledge collaboration network      Star nodes      Broker nodes      Fan group collaboration scale      Knowledge dissemination effect
