Abstract: With the growth in the size of social network data,manual processing methods cannot meet the needs of social network analysis.This paper reviewed 4 commonly used and well-documented social network analysis softwares,which are NodeXL,Pajeck,Gephi,and networkX.Through the comparison of the software’s inputting data format,statistical performance,data visualization,help documentation,and difficulty of use,we gave an objective evaluation of their overall performance,and recommendations of selecting and use.
