A textbook on the practical side of Network science—working with network data—written for data scientists. The book follows the life cycle of a network study, from conceptualization through statistical modeling and analysis, and is organized in three parts: Background (network science fundamentals and data ethics), Applications and Tools (gathering data through machine learning), and Fundamentals (mathematical and computational foundations).

The network cards proposal for concise, readable summaries of network data comes from the same authors.
