Many proposals from the analysis of social networks focused on the study of scientific collaboration have been made recently. The Small Worlds theory seems to be the most efficient to study the inner features of the scientific community. Those researches have demonstrated that small communities are based on some key individuals who connect some groups which, on the contrary, would be disconnected. One of the disadvantages from the perspective of the analysis of networks is the lack of researches of particular nodes. With the implementation of a pseudocode algorithm of Floyd, we try to avoid this. To study how a small community is formed and, as a research of one case, we observe the invisible college which is formed when connecting the fifteen most productive authors of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology .
最近，许多基于社交网络分析提出的关于科学合作研究的提议纷纷涌现。小世界理论似乎是研究科学界内部特征最有效的方法。这些研究表明，小群体是基于一些关键个体形成的，这些个体将一些原本相互隔绝的群体联系起来。从网络分析的角度来看，其中一个缺点是缺乏对特定节点的研究。通过实施弗洛伊德伪代码算法，我们试图避免这一问题。为了研究一个小群体是如何形成的，作为一个案例研究，我们观察了通过连接《人格与社会心理学杂志》最具生产力的15位作者而形成的无形学院。
