In this workshop, a new course book on exploratory
social network analysis will be presented. It combines
an introduction in the various applications of network
analysis in the social sciences, a presentation of
basic concepts and techniques in social network analysis,
as well as a step-by-step manual for the software tools
implemented in program Pajek to apply these techniques.
With this book, students should be able to perform their
own social network analyses.
The workshop is intended for researchers and students who
are considering to use program Pajek in their projects and
for instructors who are teaching introductory courses in
social network analysis or who are considering to start
such a course.
Registered
'Pajek' workshop participants will be, on their
request,
provided with access to
the book and related data sets as soon as possible, so
they can prepare for the workshop. In the workshop, there
will be time to discuss the course book from a didactic
point of view. Participants who bring their own computers
may get help on using program Pajek with the book or in
their own applications of social network analysis.
Program Pajek is freely available at:
