Create a flyer for "Doing Social Network Research"

Great book for social scientists who want to apply social network theory to their teaching and research.

comments as before, great text for teaching,comprehensive

Good introduction to SNA, well structured and easy for international students

Wonderful book. Simple and to the point treatment of all the relevant topics in network research.

This is a most valuable, practical source on how to conceptualise network research

This is an excellent, and much needed book, which extends beyond describing how social network analysis works in theory to explain the pitfalls and complications of using it in practice. This is an important resource for introducing students to the issues they need to consider when undertaking network studies.

Robins addresses reasonably experienced social scientists. For a course on the postgraduate level, it is very good. As an introductory level textbook, it is less useful. I recommend it (and address some chapters) in my masters' level courses.

Good book for social network research

Very useful. Is has applications in several courses.

A helpful guide to develop research skills and ideas

This is a clear and comprehensive introduction to social network analysis which is essential reading for all students and researchers new to the field. The author draws on his extensive experience to introduce and illustrate major concepts and methods, always presented in an accessible and straightforward manner. It is a valuable addition to the field.

Provides a great deal of background information of each measure including strengths and issues that it presents. It also includes a lot of background research and contexts where it has been used previously.

I found this a very useful text in this subject area, some thought provoking information that challenged my thinking and teaching!

Although well-written, we decided at a late stage not to include social networking analysis as part of the module.

The book itself is well-written, clear and provides a very good insight into the world of social Networking research.
