Egocentric Network Analysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Egocentric network analysis is used widely across the social, information, and health sciences. Until now, there has been no single reference for researchers seeking guidance on best practice in egocentric network analysis. This book fills this gap, synthesizing a diverse and diffuse body of knowledge on this method and its applications.
