Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP)

The Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP) is a research initiative that develops and provides large data sets and tools for studying complex networks such as social, biological, and technological systems. These networks are made up of nodes (like people or proteins) and edges (connections between them). SNAP helps researchers analyze how these networks behave, how information spreads, and how they evolve over time. Its resources support advancements in fields like sociology, computer science, and biology by offering scalable, efficient tools to understand the structure and dynamics of large-scale networks.
