Introduction to Social Network Analysis and Data Modeling

Starting with the question “What are social networks and social network analysis (SNA)?,” this course explains the key theories and analytical methods related to them, the specific process of understanding network data and constructing it from observed phenomena, and the research design process. As the first step in social network analysis, data modeling is highly important. Through this course, gain a thorough understanding of “network data,” which may be unfamiliar, and try designing a process for creating or collecting network data directly from a topic of interest.
