Session Abstract

In this 3-hour workshop, you will get hands-on experience with SNA Toolbox – web-based software for the collection, visualisation, analysis and rapid reporting of social network data. SNA Toolbox is a comprehensive all-in-one network package that allows you to collect network data and have it instantly available in network-ready form for analysis (e.g., standard network metrics, indegree, clustering, etc…), with the ability to create a pipeline for online reports for research clients/partners/customers/participant groups that are securely accessible online.

Points covered include:

- System overview, including features, security, and user roles

- Using the survey designer to construct social network and standard attribute questions, as well as automated calculations of scale items.

- Network analysis packages that immediately utilise the data collected without the need for data transformation.

- Network visualisation tools, algorithms, nodal attributes, and selected node information

- General data visualisation tools (e.g., charts, graphics, etc….)

- Reporting: templates, pre-configurations, insights tools, and rapid reporting to clients on researcher-selected metrics.

No software is required. You will be supplied with login credentials for the web-based application for the workshop and beyond.
