***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Dear all, As a follow-up to the discussion on listing R packages for SNA, the following list https://github.com/briatte/awesome-network-analysis now contains over 100 links to - books, conferences, courses, journals, review articles and professional groups - network dataset repositories - software written in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, R and more - tutorials and other online resources The list also links to the Wikipedia English page referred to by Barry Wellman a few hours ago. Feel free to contribute directly on GitHub or by emailing me.
