The revised and updated edition of this bestselling text provides an accessible introduction to the theory and practice of network analysis in the social sciences. It gives a clear and authoritative guide to the general framework of network analysis, explaining the basic concepts, technical measures and reviewing the available computer programs.

The book outlines both the theoretical basis of network analysis and the key techniques for using it as a research tool. Building upon definitions of points, lines and paths, John Scott demonstrates their use in clarifying such measures as density, fragmentation and centralization. He identifies the various cliques, components and circles into which networks are formed, and outlines an approach to the study of socially structured positions. He also discusses the use of multidimensional methods for investigating social networks.

Social Network Analysis is an invaluable resource for researchers across the social sciences and for students of social theory and research methods.

Product description

Review

′I am often asked by people new to network analysis for something they can read to get a quick sense of the area. I refer them to this book. Now updated, Scott′s book continues to be the most accessible introduction to social network analysis. Experts should have two copies: one to use, one to loan′ - Ronald S Burt, University of Chicago and European Institute of Business Administration (INSEAD)

Praise for the First Edition:

`This book is essential for those who want to keep up with - and move forward with - the field′ - Professor Barry Wellman, University of Toronto

`John Scott′s Social Network Analysis: A Handbook fills a gap between simplist introductions and inaccessibly technical treatments. The increasing popularity of these methods warrants a solid introductory text, which Scott′s book admirably provides′ - David Knoke, University of Minnesota

There's some useful stuff in here but most of it is a long-winded justification for doing something that is actually quite simple when you cut through the grand claims.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Clear Introduction
Reviewed in the United States on 1 May 2011
Verified Purchase
As a biostatistician interested in learning some social network analysis, I was immediately attracted to this book. It is short and non-technical and seemed to provide an overview of the key issues in this research area. Once I began to read it, I quickly saw that Scott has a gift for presenting complex idea in clear prose. (I don't know quite why it is, but British academics are typically very good at expository prose.) In any case, Social Network Analysis provided just what I wanted -- a quick (180 page) overview that will help me move on to other, more technical works in this area.
Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but to the point
Reviewed in the United States on 18 July 2010
Verified Purchase
This book is intended as an introduction to the field and no prior knowledge of social network analysis is required. Although less than 200 pages, the text contains a lot of useful information. The best thing about the book is that the author doesn't just tell us about SNA as it stands today, but instead discusses how the ideas behind the theory kept changing while citing the most important papers published about the subject. The only criticism that I have is that in some cases the author used diagrams to illustrate simple points, but when he was discussing some of the more complicated issues like algorithms there were no diagrams that accompanied the explanation, and this made it harder to follow. This only happened in the last two chapters, but other than that, I really recommend this book to anyone with even the slightest interest in social network analysis.

I haven't read all of the book yet but what I have read, I have found valuable. Rather than find all of the original cites and such in articles, Scott has a lot of the info in one place.
