WS-M33: Walking through a Social Network Project in UCINET
| |
| Session Abstract | |
|
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. | |
