Introduction to Social Network Analysis

A huge amount of information has been shared in various social networking

platforms, due to the structural changes in information sharing processes. It is

possible to analyze these data by social network analysis. Social network analysis

is defined as a method that focuses on social relationship structures and the study

of mapping and measuring relationships among social actors in a social network.

Social network analysis allows us to define human relations and to examine ways

of connecting. Social network analysis has commonly been used in engineering

and computing, and has recently become an important method in social sciences.

This six-week course focuses on various social network analysis tools, and

provides sample cases of analysis. Participants can contact the instructor to ask
