Social Network Analysis in R: A Software Review [Review]
Adhikari, Samrachana; Dabbs, Beau
In education research, social network analysis is being widely used to study different interactions and their overall implications. Recently, there has also been a surge in the development of software tools to implement social network analysis. In this article, we review two popular R packages, igraph and statnet suite, in the context of network summarization and modeling. We discuss different aspects of these packages and demonstrate some of their functionalities by analyzing a friendship network of lawyers. Finally, we end with recommendations for using these packages along with pointers to additional resources for network analysis in R. ISI:000429868500004
