“a set of nodes and the set of ties representing some relationship, or lack of relationship, between the nodes” (Brass, Galaskiewicz, Greve, & Tsai, 2004, p. 795).
Nodes, or actors, are the units of analysis in SNA and may represent individuals, groups/communities, organizations, or countries (Zack, 2000). Relationships define the connections or flow of material or non-material resources among the actors (Wasserman & Faust, 1994), and “resources might include social support, emotional support, companionship, time, information, expertise, money, business transactions, shared activity” (Williams, 2005, p. 22). For more information about networks, and definitions of some key terms, please read Introduction to Social Network Research: General Introduction and Major Terminology.
UCINET (a Windows product) is a comprehensive package for the analysis of social network data as well as other 1-mode and 2-mode data. Can read and write a multitude of differently formatted text files, as well as Excel files. Can handle a maximum of 32,767 nodes (with some exceptions) although practically speaking many procedures get too slow around 5,000 – 10,000 nodes. Social network analysis methods include centrality measures, subgroup identification, role analysis, elementary graph theory, and permutation-based statistical analysis. In addition, the package has strong matrix analysis routines, such as matrix algebra and multivariate statistics.
Integrated with UCINET is the NetDraw program for drawing diagrams of social networks. In addition, the program can export data to Mage and Pajek, other two software used for network analysis
The full program can be downloaded and used free for 60 days.

Installation notes
Windows
Installation works best if you right-click on the installation file (typically called something like setup32UCI6534.exe) and choose ‘Run as Administrator’. Similarly, it is also helpful to use ‘Run as Administrator’ when running UCINET itself for the first time, as this allows you to register the program for all users of your machine.
MAC
The best way to run UCINET on a Mac is to use a Windows emulator such as Parallels (or, of course, Bootcamp). However, it is (often) possible to run UCINET on a Mac using Wine. For more information, see this FAQ.
Be ready with the software installed in your portable computer by monday 28th when we will start work on it.
