Exploratory Social Network Analysis with Pajek, Revised and expanded second edition
Wouter de Nooy, Andrej Mrvar, Vladimir Batagelj
W. de Nooy, A. Mrvar, V. Batagelj: Exploratory Social Network
Analysis with Pajek, CUP,
November 2010.
An extensively revised and expanded second edition of the successful textbook on social
network analysis integrating theory, applications and network analysis using Pajek. The main
structural concepts and their applications in social research are introduced with exercises.
Pajek software and data sets are available so readers can learn network analysis through
application and case studies. Readers will have the knowledge, skill and tools to apply social
network analysis across the social sciences, from anthropology and sociology to business
administration and history. This second edition has a new chapter on random network models,
for example, scale-free and small-world networks and Monte Carlo simulation; discussion of
multiple relations, islands and matrix multiplication; new structural indices such as
eigenvector centrality, degree distribution and clustering coefficients; new visualization
options that include circular layout for partitions and drawing a network geographically as
a 3D surface; and using Unicode labels.
Pajek - the software accompanying the book
The Application sections in the book show how to perform social network
analysis with program Pajek. It uses a particular version of the
software, namely PajekBE2 (book edition), which is identical
to Pajek 2.05
and its installation file
is available
here.
Once you have become accustomed to Pajek, you may want to upgrade to
the newest version of the software, which is available from the
Pajek download page.
The data sets used in the book
Each chapter uses one or more examples of social networks. All data sets,
macro files, and R scripts used in the book are avaliable at the
Pajek wiki, under
Data Resources.
After you download
the zipped data files, extract the data files
to your personal network analysis folder (the default folder will be
\ESNA with Pajek). For each chapter, a new subfolder will be created
containing the data files belonging to that chapter.
