Abstract

Social network analysis (SNA) is an empirical approach and a set of techniques that investigates actors, their dyadic links and the network they form. In this half-day tutorial, participants will learn about social network analysis as a tool for data analysis and visualization and how it can be applied in studies of information behaviour and interactive information retrieval. Participants will learn about its theoretical substantiation and gain practical experience by applying these theoretical concepts in a hands-on session using the open-source software Gephi.
