Free and Open-Source Tool for Social Network Analysis 🌟

SocNetV Screenshot

SocNetV is a cross-platform, user-friendly free software application for social network analysis and visualization. With SocNetV you can:

  • Draw social networks with a few clicks on a virtual canvas, load field data from a file in a supported format (GraphML, GraphViz, Adjacency, EdgeList, GML, Pajek, UCINET, etc.), or crawl the internet to create a social network of connected webpages.

  • Edit actors and ties through point-and-click, analyze graph and social network properties, produce beautiful HTML reports, and embed visualization layouts in the network.

Easy User Interface

SocNetV’s intuitive interface lets you create, analyze, and visualize social networks. Navigate yourself and use the application either with the mouse or the keyboard.

File Formats

Load and save to GraphML, but you can also import most network file formats (GML, Pajek, UCINET, GraphViz, Adjacency, EdgeList, etc.).

Network Analysis

Compute distances, eccentricity, connectedness, clique census, triad census, and Prominence indices (e.g., eigenvector, betweenness, and information centrality, proximity prestige, PageRank, and more).

Visualization

Apply intuitive visualization layouts on undirected/directed graphs, based on prominence scores or force-directed models.

Famous Networks

Automatically recreate known social network datasets such as Padgett’s Families.

Random Networks

Create random networks using one of the supported models (scale-free, Erdős–Rényi, lattice, small worlds).

Web Crawler

Easily visualize and analyze networks of linked web pages and sites through the built-in web crawler.

Multi-relational

Work with multiple relations concurrently. SocNetV supports loading, editing, and saving multirelational social networks.
