Abstract: Abstract Once complexity theory provides a foundation to a fuller understanding of mechanisms of change, this chapter applies network structures and principles to science. Networks are the actualization of complex systems, and we can use network analysis to begin a process of understanding the structure of the global network, exploring how networking changes the system. It also allows us to visualize and measure the global network at various levels.
