A program "Saltie" which analyzes network-structure was developed. By using "Saltie", I analyzed and visualized a network structure of researchers in AIST and their co-authors (as shown in Figs.1 and 2). The value of short path betweeness (SPB) was analyzed and 10 linkages with large SPB are visualized.
