The focal point of this research is to study about Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a tool
to find the main reference paper for each journal in the port competitiveness area from
2015-2017. These papers are concentrated on three academic journals that is journal of
transport geography, marine policy and transportation research part A. The objectives of
this research are to identify main reference papers of port competitiveness in three
selected journals from 2015-2017 and to use UCINET in SNA to analyze collected data of
port competitiveness papers and explain the relationships. In methodology, the data will
be interpreted by basic, centrality and intermediate measures. The expected outputs that
I expect from this research are that we got the clear understanding of the importance of
SNA in measuring the main references of port competitiveness papers for each journal
and obtain high-quality results from UCINET software.
