I refer them to this book. Now updated, Scott's book continues to be the most accessible introduction to social network analysis. Experts should have two copies: one to use, one to loan' - Ronald S Burt, University of Chicago and European Institute of Business Administration (INSEAD) Praise for the First Edition: 'This book is essential for those who want to keep up with - and move forward with - the field' - Professor Barry Wellman, University of Toronto 'John Scott's Social Network Analysis: A Handbook fills a gap between simplist introductions and inaccessibly technical treatments. The increasing popularity of these methods warrants a solid introductory text, which Scott's book admirably provides' - David Knoke, University of Minnesota
