Event Details
The increased availability of online digital data has coincided with a surge of interest in social network analysis (SNA). SNA offers a powerful range of tools, methods and theory that enables researchers to map, visualise, and analyse sociocultural phenomena as complex networks. In particular, SNA has a natural alignment with the analysis of social media data. For example, ‘nodes’ can represent user accounts and the links or ‘edges’ between nodes represent relationships between users, such as retweeting on Twitter or replying on Reddit. This workshop introduces participants to analysing digital data using the Gephi network visualisation/analysis software. Participants will learn how to import and construct networks from social media data (datasets will be provided), perform node-level and network-level analysis. There will be a strong focus on network visualisation and producing publication-ready graphics.
