Friends: 
This email introduces the empirical networks project- an effort to make 
empirical social network data available to the research community.  
Below is a web link to a site where you can download a dataset of 720 
networks.  These networks were collected in 8 studies each one having 
one or more network questions and multiple communities.  For example, 
the medical innovation study asked 3 network questions of 4 communities 
providing 12 networks.  The data are stored as network nominations and 
are available in excel, SAS, SPSS, or STATA.  There is an excel document 
describing the data and providing some basic parameters.

If you would like to add data to the archive, please feel free to email me.
Thanks
Tom  Valente
