Abstract
Traditional group study methodologies focus on the study of individuals that comprise a group. Social Network Analysis (SNA) focuses on the relationships between members that make up a group. This research demonstrates the use of SNA and content analysis as a mixed methodology for studying interaction patterns of members in a Web‐based knowledge community. Since this project is an initial investigation, further questions and directions will be included.
