#scientometric-graph-tool v0.1 #by Rene Pfitzner #mail: [email protected] #August/September 2013 >What is scientometric-graph-tool?< scientometric-graph-tool is a bundle of python libraries to deal with "scientometric" networks, i.e. citation networks and collaboration networks. Especially, scientometric-graph-tool allows you to take a multiplex perspective on these networks, i.e. to analyze them in connection with each other rather than as separate entities. >Tell me more about it!< As citation and collaboration networks tend to be huge in size, it is essential to have scalable code. Whereas libraries like igraph or networkx are fairly extensive concerning the already build-in functions to analyze networks, scalability is always an issue. However, a more novel network library, graph-tool by Tiago Peixoto (http://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/), provides a fast, memory-efficient, highly scalable and versatile framework for network analysis. Hence, scientometric-graph-tool builds on graph-tool. >What do I need?< To be able to use scientometric-graph-tool you will need a working python2.7 installation as well as graph-tool. To get python, please refer to www.python.org, to get graph-tool, please refer to the project homepage http://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/. >Cool, so where can I find more information?< On the project homepage: http://github.com/prene/scientometric-graph-tool I will try to keep a wiki to have the code fully documented. If I fail in this endeavor, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
