Social network analysis software. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Social network analysis software is used to identify, represent, analyze, visualize, or simulate nodes (e.g. agents, organizations, or knowledge) and edges (relationships) from various types of input data (relational and non-relational), including mathematical models of social networks. The output data can be saved in external files. Various input and output file formats exist. Network analysis tools allow researchers to investigate representations of networks of different size - from small (e.g. families, project teams) to very large (e.g. the Internet, disease transmission).

The various tools provide mathematical and statistical routines that can be applied to the network model. Visual representations of social networks are important to understand network data and convey the result of the analysis [1].

If you have not yet downloaded the Pajek file "prerequisites.paj" from our Blackboard site, click this link to get it now. I will be walking you through exploring the data in that file using Pajek. It is the network of all courses offered at Bentley in Fall 2006, with the relation "is a prerequisite for. " (Actually, the relation is "is mentioned in the prerequisite list for," so some courses say you need X or (Y and Z), and so all three are marked as prerequisites. But that's not really that important.) In this file, things written like this: Edit > Copy mean that you should click the Edit menu in Pajek, and then choose the Copy menu item.

Opening a data file You can open Pajek first (from wherever you installed it on your machine) and then load the data file by File > Pajek Project File > Read. Seeing a graph You can see a picture of the network by choosing Draw > Draw (the shortcut for which is Ctrl+G). Leydesdorff courseware scientometrics and bibliometrics, software. Gephi.
