Network science is an academic field which studies complex networks such as telecommunication networks, computer networks, biological networks, cognitive and semantic networks, and social networks, considering distinct elements or actors represented by nodes (or vertices) and the connections between the elements or actors as links (or edges).

Network Science (NWS) is an interdisciplinary journal aiming to consolidate and advance the emerging discipline of the same name. Recognizing an ever-increasing relevance across domains,the journal is focused on inspiring applications of network approaches, rigorous theory building, and innovative methods.

简单的说,网络科学（Network Science）应该是专门研究复杂网络系统的定性和定量规律的一门崭新的交叉科学,研究涉及到复杂网络的各种拓扑结构及其性质,与动力学特性(或功能)之间相互关系,包括时空斑图的涌现、动力学同步及其产生机制,网络上各种动力学行为和 ...

此時，可以計算圖的某些參數，來分析網絡的對應性質。該些網絡性質在定義各種 網絡模型 （ 英语 ： network model ） 時會用到，或是可用作比較不同模型的異同。

A First Course in Network Science by Menczer, Fortunato, and Davis is an easy-to-follow introduction into network science. An accessible text by some of the best-known practitioners of the field, offering a wonderful place to start one’s journey into this fascinating field, and its potential applications.

2021年11月23日 · 网络科学的特点（The characteristics of Network Science） 学科交叉性（Interdisciplinary）。 正如上文所述，在不同的学科中都能看到网络科学的影子，网络科学也能在很多领域发挥巨大的作用。

The research platform of complex networks and systems: including scale-free power-law networks, biological and social network analysis, and sparsely and densely connected networks.

Network science consists of the study of network representations of physical, biological, and social phenomena leading to predictive models of these phenomena. By focusing on the development of models and properties of the underlying representations, this new area of scientific investigation offers the promise of developing tools, techniques ...

This class is an introductory undergraduate course about networks, which can be used to study complex systems of interacting entities. The study of networks — including theory, computation, and applications — is pervasive in physics, biology, sociology, computer and information science, and myriad other fields. The study of networks is also a major part of data science.

Network science helps you design faster, more resilient communication networks; revise infrastructure systems such as electrical power grids, telecommunications networks, and airline routes; model market dynamics; understand synchronization in biological systems; and analyze social interactions among people.
