“…C'est une richesse de ces sources : si l'on prend la peine de conserver ces taxonomies précises, on peut ensuite catégoriser liens et entités de plusieurs manières différentes, selon la problématique (L6, L7). Par exemple, lorsque la source indique le lien de parenté exact entre deux individus, l'analyste peut étudier les effets des « liens familiaux » selon différentes définitions possibles, emic ou etic, de la famille (Lemercier, 2006).…”

Sources and data for social network analysis. Social network analysis (SNA) is becoming more and more widespread in several scientific disciplines as a method for processing social, economic, geographic, historical, digital, etc. data. Visualizations of graphs, communities and other ties are multiplying. However, there is a risk that SNA users may lose sight of the conditions under which their data are produced and thereby over-interpret or under-interpret the results. This article provides a guide to the different types of sources of network data, and the pitfalls and choices encountered in the process of producing network data. The first part provides an overview of these pitfalls and choices, and the second part focuses on the specifics of each source of data. Based on the authors’ experience in training network researchers, the article proposes a review of controlled ways of producing network data from this array of sources.

“…Did family groups sometimes control an entire institution? 45 Answers to such questions will never be 100% "yes" or "no", but phrasing the questions and looking for empirically grounded answers, not only anecdotal evidence, is always helpful; in fact, a systematic treatment is not only the best way to get general answers, but also a step towards identifying meaningful exceptions that might in turn deserve qualitative investigation. This is true for studies on networks as well as for others, and perhaps all the more so, because general statements about the "importance of networks" often disregard two important points.…”
