The development of this tutorial is funded under NSF Career Grant: A Research and Educational Framework for Incorporating Spatial Heterogeneity into Social Network Analysis. Please visit our website SNoMaN (The Social Network Mapping Nexus) to see our SSN paper collection and interactive software.

The future development of the tutorial includes:

  • Advanced Metrics
    • Regional Modularity
    • Missed Opportunities
    • Cluster/Cluster Plots
    • Route Factor Diagrams
  • Application Examples
    • Commutes

We are also considering more examples of topic applications using visualization and metrics. If you would like to contribute writing a chapter, sharing a sample dataset, or developing a metric in the SSNtools R package, please contact Xiaofan Liang at .

If you run into an issue with the SSNtools R package or this tutorial, please open an issue (for SSNtools here and for R tutorial here) at the GitHub with an replicable example.
