Algorithms for Network Analysis: Theory and Practice

Dear Colleagues,

In the age of digital communication, social networks have become a fundamental part of our daily lives. They are not only platforms for interaction but also sources of vast amounts of data that can provide profound insights into human behavior, social dynamics, and information diffusion. The analysis of these networks, however, requires sophisticated algorithms and methods. Moreover, much of the techniques and parameters proposed for Social Network Analysis have been applied in a variety of other contexts using complex networks. 

This special issue of the MDPI journal "Algorithms" invites original research papers that explore the intersection of Algorithms and (Social) Network Analysis, both in theory and practice. We welcome contributions that propose new algorithms, methods, and models for (Social) Network Analysis, as well as empirical studies that apply these techniques to real-world social networks and, more in general, to real-world applications that can be modeled through complex networks.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
