In this workshop, we provide an introduction to Social Network Analysis. Social Network Analysis (SNA) investigates the relations among a certain group of entities. In this session, we will introduce the core concepts and metrics, including centrality measures, network level metrics (i.e. density, centralisation), and sub-group metrics. We explore these in a number of real-world applications. Additionally, we will touch on network data and collection instruments, to give an overview of how to start conducting research with SNA as a method.
There are no prerequisites for attending this session. This workshop aims to be the starting point for researchers interested in employing SNA in their research.
