Abstract

Social network analysis is a subdiscipline of the social sciences using graph-theoretic concepts to understand and explain social structure.We describe the main issues in social network analysis. General principles are laid out for visualizing network data in a way that conveys structural information relevant to specific research questions. Based on these innovative graph drawing techniques integrating the analysis and visualization of social networks are introduced.
