Abstract: Majority of research institutes present results of their activity or leave information about their collaboration on the web. This fact can be used to derive useful information of their past, present and future activity. Hence, social network of research institutes can be of important value for scientific community. This information for building social network of institutes can be retrieved from multiple sources from the web. In this paper we give a reliable theoretical method which can be used to build a social network of research institutes on information extracted on the web. Initially, we shall introduce definition of social networks and then shall give a brief history of social network analysis. Afterwards, we shall present a state of the art of social network analysis on the web. Finally, we shall give a detailed explanation of the method.
