Getting Started with UCINET

[@geekgroupie42]

Thanks so much Jess, the other week my boss said to me, "learn how to do Social Network Analysis, when you have some spare time" and well... here i am!

Thank you Dr.K

Great viedeo, but I have a question: in the relation actors matrix (10:12) it only admit the calification value between 0 and 1 or it could be higer, 2 o 3 (like the calification on the MICMAC and MACTOR software)?

Yes, you can use a valued dataset or a dicotomous dataset. Some analyses will dicotomize automatically to ensure valid results, while others require you to dicotomize before analyzing. Many UCINET results will tell you in the text file if it dicotomized your dataset to ensure valid results, I think density is one example of this wherein your results should be a number between zero and one and a valued/weighted dataset can return a number greater than one if the dataset is not dicotomized.

thank you, is very usefull know that.

When I tried to find the closeness centrality by clicking on the "Edge (line) betweeness" option, I encountered the message "this routine binarizes but does NOT symmetrize." Can you provide a solution for this? I'm using UCINET version 6.679.

do you have the patch for full version, im very need it

Hi, I'm a neophyte of these type of analysis... I should create networks using the unimodal and bimodal method( utilizing the Girvan-Newman algorith. anf the Jaccard index), I wonder if there was a video about this topic (I mean, how to set the data, insert it into UCINET, process them and put in Netdraw) or if you could suggest me some specific paper on it. Thank you! Best regards Roberto

[@JessKropczynski]

Roberto Filloramo I recommend the Hanneman & Riddle tutorial. There's a link when you open UCINET. This video and the one after show you how to put your data into UCINET and NetDraw. After you've figured out how to best format your data, if you are looking for how to run the Girvan Newman algorithm, you can do that in both NetDraw and UCINET depending on whether you want to visualize it or just have the output. Searching for it in the help menu with give you the up-to-date path to follow in the dropdown menu.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I am also doing research on communication network analysis. I really need once UCINET 6 applications, but I am required to enter the registration code. I do not have enough money to buy the application, can you help me to get the application without having to buy the application? I once downloaded the trial version, but it was expired.

My UCINet app keeps freezing and hanging. Doesn't work unless I end task manually! Any comments?

[@JessKropczynski]

Shivani Brahambhatt are you using 64-bit? Try 32-bit

How do I save a ##h file to .dl file? THat drives me crazy..
