Sažetak:

Research is a global enterprise underpinned by the general belief that findings need to be true to be considered scientific. In the complex system of scientific validation, editorial boards (EBs) play a fundamental role in guiding journals’ review process, which has led many stakeholders of sciences to metaphorically picture them as the “gatekeepers of knowledge.” Editorial Board Interlocking (EBI) is the cross-presence of EB members in different journals. We would analyze the interconnections within and between scientific fields of knowledge through EBI using graph analysis along the following lines:
1) Exploratory (Social network analysis) to investigate how 41 JCR (Journal Citation Report) journals in the field of communication are connected through EB interlocking.
2) Complex cross-disciplinary analysis of the geographical, gender, and institutional compositions of editorial boards, with a specific emphasis on within- and between-fields EBI. 281 journals of six disciplines: communication, psychology, political science, sociology, economics, and management.
3) Map the connection between fields of knowledge through EBI (>3,000 journals in 215 fields); visualize and empirically test the distance between social and general sciences; and to uncover the institutional structure (i.e., universities) that governs these connections.
