Abstract
In this paper we present a network analytic approach for the detection and improved understanding of the dynamics of communities. As a practical example of our own research practice we applied these ideas to the community of CRIWG researchers and checked for the feasibility of our approach. We will present our results on indicators for collaboration and also propose some practices from other fields to intensify scientific discussion and production.
