Social Network Analysis (SNA) is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers or other information/knowledge processing entities. The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. [Krebs, 2008] [CD-JRA-1.1.5] | Network analysis is the study of social relations
among a set of actors
(behavior of the network). It is a field of study which concerns with a
set of phenomena or data that we seek to understand. Moreover, it
is a collective analysis of data supported by social interaction.
