This is a very easy-to-learn book and very detailed on network analysis.
Useful text for understanding the background to SNA and provides practical guidance on undertaking SNA projects. Good for both undergrad, postgrad and research staff.
I like the book a lot, it gives a good overview on SNA, most of all for people who haven't looked into data yet and are at the very beginning of working with SNA.
Accessible, well-readable book. Especially the historical introduction offers the essential background to understand the origin and with it the underpinning logic of the approach - all the way very comprehensive.
The level of the book is too general to be used for the programme.
Well written and constructed arguments. This is an excellent guide that takes the reader through the journey of Social Network Analysis. Highly recommended!
Very good discussion of descriptive and inferential network analysis. A must-read for people starting with network analysis in her own research.
The level at which the subject matter is treated is not appropriate for my graduate and advanced undergraduate Social Network Analysis courses.
I have recommended this to students studying research methods as well as dissertation students undertaking network analysis as part of their projects. It is a user friendly guide, which avoids the unnecessary complexity of rival texts and inspires confidence in those considering this as an approach in their work.
Social networks are taking a central stage in every aspect of today’s globalizing lives. This interconnected world demands a better understanding of networks and their structures. As a consequence plethora of books were written. This recent book sheds light on the history, theory and methodology of social network analysis. It is not only a timely contribution but it also contains fundamental knowledge about various aspects of social network analysis. It begins by introducing the history of the method.
This is an accessible yet competent introduction to SNA. I will use it in an introductory undergraduate course to research methods. The first chapters describing the broad outlines of the method will make for recommended readings.
This is a great resource that brings some much needed 21st century thinking into the course reading list
I was hoping the book was moving a little further towards using SNA i organisational analysis. Though the book is a nice read, it doesnt provide a better text book, than the SNA by John Scott. I am still in a search for a good text book that takes the ONS approach rather than SNA.
A very nice book that is long needed to teach Social Network Analysis. Many earlier textbooks were either too technical or too shallow. This book is structured nicely and built up in a way so that it can be used efficiently for a course.
