While some social scientists may argue that we have always been
networked, the increased visibility of networks today across
economic, political, and social domains can hardly be disputed.
Social networks fundamentally shape our lives and social network
analysis has become a vibrant, interdisciplinary field of research.
In The Oxford Handbook of Social Networks, Ryan Light and James
Moody have gathered forty leading scholars in sociology,
archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science, among
others, to provide an overview of the theory, methods, and
contributions in the field of social networks. Each of the
thirty-three chapters in this Handbook moves through the basics of
social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to
advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks
statistically. They cover both a succinct background to, and future
directions for, distinctive approaches to analyzing social
networks. The first section of the volume consists of theoretical
and methodological approaches to social networks, such as
visualization and network analysis, statistical approaches to
networks, and network dynamics. Chapters in the second section
outline how network perspectives have contributed substantively
across numerous fields, including public health, political
analysis, and organizational studies. Despite the rapid spread of
interest in social network analysis, few volumes capture the
state-of-the-art theory, methods, and substantive contributions
featured in this volume. This Handbook therefore offers a valuable
resource for graduate students and faculty new to networks looking
to learn new approaches, scholars interested in an overview of the
field, and network analysts looking to expand their skills or
substantive areas of research.
