The Social Structure of an Academic Discipline: Networks and Prestige in Political Science.
Bingham, Richard D.; Vertz, Laura L.
Social Science Quarterly, v64 n2 p275-87 Jun 1983

This pattern consists of a tightly knit group of leaders and increasingly looser groups of followers arrayed about them. Within the social structure, all members are familiar with the top researchers. (Author/RM)
