If you are conducting network analysis on data you have identified yourself, your data needs to be formatted in a particular way in order to work with visualization software. Usually, for the most basic networks, you will need to create a list in a spreadsheet of all entities you want to include, called a “node list.” You will also need an “edge list” containing the interactions between nodes with a node name in the first column, and the node name of the other entity in the second column with whom an interaction takes place.
The library's collections and services are available to all ISU students, faculty, and staff and Parks Library is open to the public.
