Abstract

This research presents an analysis of references collected by an established group of users who share a common interest on a social computing website. The purpose is to demonstrate how social computing functions as an instrument for measuring scholarly communication. The goal is twofold: to reveal how an analysis of the references collected by interested users compares to and complements citation studies.
