How to use Network Analysis Studio

Build co-authorship, co-citation and keyword co-occurrence networks with centrality metrics and community detection, then export to your desktop tool.

Before you start

• • A signed-in SciExpert account

Steps

1. 1

   Open Network Analysis Studio

   From the workspace sidebar choose Network Analysis Studio. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Network Analysis Studio.

2. 2

   Set up your inputs

   Build co-authorship, co-citation and keyword co-occurrence networks with centrality metrics and community detection, then export to your desktop tool. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.

3. 3

   Run it

   Run the tool and check the first output: co-authorship, co-citation and keyword networks.

4. 4

   Review what came back

   Work through the results: degree, betweenness and centrality metrics; community detection with cluster labels; export to gephi gexf, vosviewer or csv edge lists.

5. 5

   Save or export

   Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.

Tips

• • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
• • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
