Finally, you might browse the posts and resources at the Historical Network Research site for ideas about how historians and other humanists are applying network analysis methods in their research.HT also to Miriam Posner for recommending Mushon Zer-Aviv’s “If Everything is a Network, Nothing is a Network” for some needed nuance about what networks reveal and where they go wrong.Miriam Posner’s “Social Network Analysis Glossary” provides clear and concise definitions of the major terms in the field and her DH 101 post on network analysis also provides a wide range of useful links.For a more practical introduction to the specific tool Gephi, see Amanda Visconti’s posts on using Gephi for information visualization. This series expanded to nine posts, and I recommend them all, but Part 1 of n: An Introduction and Networks Demystified 2: Degree are absolutely essential reading if you’re going to start working on networks as a humanist. Weingart does an excellent job explaining both how networks are structured and identifying what humanists need to understand deeply to use network methods well. First and foremost, I would highly recommend reading Scott Weingart’s ongoing blog series, “Demystifying Networks”.For participants, I’ve compiled some starting instructions, sample data files, and suggested reading below. I regularly run workshops on humanities network analysis.
