Description
We introduce an Agent-Based Model to reconstruct communication in the Republic of Letters. We build from earlier research modelling online forums and apply this methodology to a context where scientists exchange letters to express their findings and beliefs. We use the model to create artificial networks and compare them to empirical data.
