Time: Monday, 23/June/2025: 1:30pm - 4:30pm Session Chair: Rich DeJordy |
This workshop is focused on the practical application of one specific network analysis tool, UCINET (a Windows program, there is no Mac or Linux version) in completing the analysis for a particular study. Anonymized data from one of the instructors will be provided, and the workshop will walk the participants through a defined research project.
The workshop will cover:
Importing the data
Data transformations
Dealing with missing data
Network Visualizations using NetDraw
Exploring dyadic hypotheses
Characterizing a node’s network environment
Measuring structural holes and centrality
Exploring overall network structure
Testing hypotheses
The workshop is intended for people with a basic understanding of the network concepts covered and designed to be a hands-on supplement to the "Introduction to Core Network Concepts" workshop. Participants should bring a Windows-based laptop (or any machine with a Windows emulator). Participants do not need to own UCINET for this workshop. One to two weeks prior to the workshop, participants will be sent instructors for downloading the trial version of UCINET.
