Sociology is the foundation stone of the contemporary research field of Social Network Analysis. In 1830’s this field was introduced for the first time (Linton, 2004) and this was the beginning of a new area of science. Since then, Social Network Analysis has been in the center of scientists’ concern and much work is being done until today. The goal of this scientific field is the identification of a community’s structure, which is represented in the form of a graph, with vertices connected with edges. There are several mathematical models which express the structure of networks and they are presented in this work thoroughly. Scientists use these models to extract valuable information of Networks, such as identifying the most central node or finding the shortest path through which an information could pass from one node to another. With the late advancements in computing processing and data analysis techniques, research can be applied to large Networks with many participants. In this work a historical overview of Social Network Analysis is presented. The basic characteristics of a Network are noticed and available digital tools of analysis are referenced. An analysis, using these mathematical models, has been conducted on three Networks that were extracted through a forty-year scholarly literature of journal DEA-related articles between 1978 and 2016 (Emrouznejad & Yang, 2018). The results and conclusions of this analysis are presented by the end of this work and future work that could be done is also proposed.
