classicnets: Classic Data of Social Networks

The goal of classicnets is to make available, compile and conserve classic data of social networks that are rarely available. We follow a history of this perspective based on Linton Freeman, John Scott and reviews from Ibero-America. The data are in the classic matrix format.

Social Network Data

There are other excellent R packages for other and in some cases more comprehensive data such as igraphdata or networkdata, and data in different formats in the project Netzschleuder. Likewise, there are many other classical social network databases in UCINET, which is the most comprehensive and well established software for social network analysis of the last decades.
