Temporal Social Network Analysis

Temporal Social Network Analysis (TSNA) extends classic social network analysis by treating networks as time-varying structures. Rather than aggregating all ties into a single static snapshot, TSNA tracks when ties form, persist, and dissolve, enabling researchers to study how social structures evolve and how dynamic connectivity shapes diffusion, influence, and inequality over time.
