Where can I learn the method of social network analysis (SNA)?
Where can I learn the method of social network analysis (SNA)? Can someone please point a social network analysis short-term course (preferably in Latin America)? Or would someone who works with social network analysis accept to tutor me on the first steps of such methodology?

I think it will be useful to read the articles where this method was applied. The examples of how this method or any other one can be found in the relevenat papers. Along with the many works you would need to look at I would suggest you to read "The strength of weak ties" by Makr Granovetter.

You can read its basics on webistes books etc. But the best way to learn a method is to apply it. Trial and error.

I'm interested in dashboards similar to the Global Innovation Index or other compilations of indicators that give an overview of science, technology, and innovation capabilities of Africa and African countries. I know of ASTII (https://www.nepad.org/programme/african-science-technology-and-innovation-indicators-astii), but what other initiatives exist or are being developed and how can I access them?
