UCINET is a widely-used software package for social network analysis developed by Analytic Technologies.[1] It is designed to assist researchers, analysts, and social scientists in studying and visualizing the structure and dynamics of social networks. UCINET provides a comprehensive set of tools for data management, analysis, and visualization, making it an essential resource for social network researchers worldwide.[2]
History[edit]
UCINET was originally developed in the late 1970s by Lin Freeman, Douglas White, and A. Kimball Romney at the University of California, Irvine.[1] The software was initially designed to facilitate the analysis of anthropological and social data, focusing on the study of kinship and social relationships within various cultural contexts. Over the years, UCINET has evolved into a versatile and powerful tool for analyzing a wide range of social networks, including organizational networks, friendship networks, communication networks, and more.
Applications[edit]
UCINET has found applications in various fields, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, organizational studies, epidemiology, and business management.[1][2][3] Some common uses of UCINET include:
- Social Structure Analysis: Researchers can analyze social networks to understand the underlying social structures, hierarchies, and patterns of interaction within a community or organization.
- Organizational Network Analysis (ONA): UCINET is valuable for studying communication and collaboration patterns within organizations to improve decision-making and organizational effectiveness.
- Epidemiological Studies: UCINET can be used to model and analyze the spread of diseases through contact networks.
- Marketing and Consumer Behavior: In the business world, UCINET can help analyze consumer networks and their impact on marketing strategies.
Availability[edit]
UCINET is available for Windows software only.[1] Mac or Linux versions are not available. The only way to run UCINET on a Mac is to use a Windows emulator such as Parallels or Oracle VM VirtualBox.[1] Users can obtain the software from the official Analytic Technologies website, where they can also find documentation, tutorials, and support resources.
