Abstract

According to its establishment and evolution process, this paper divided mutual trust among members of knowledge networks into 4 parts: tentative trust maintenance trust, continuity trust and swift trust. On this basis, we analyzed the evolutionary path of mutual trust from three aspects: category, degree and range. Then, the evolutionary process of mutual trust was divided into four stages. At last, combined with two angles of process and overall view, a model was built to illustrate the evolutionary process of mutual trust among members of knowledge networks.
