Introduction to Social Network Analysis Taught by: Nikita Basov Location: Ellen Wilkinson Building A3.7 Abstract: This one-day course provides a from-scratch introduction into analysing structures of relations, such as friendships, collaborations, exchanges, or alliances between social actors, such as individuals, groups, or organizations. The course familiarises the participants with the basic concepts of social network analysis, network data, and introduces key measures and visualisation techniques offered by the UCINET point-and-click software. The acquired knowledge and skills are expected to enable exploring network data, such as finding key actors or evaluating the overall network structure and visually representing the findings in an accessible form – as well as to further navigate the vast universe of network analysis. The course features hands-on exercises with real network data in order to start with applying network analysis to participants’ own research questions. Prerequisites and Software Requirements: No quantitative analysis skills are necessary.
