What is EgoNet?

Egonet

Egonet is a super helpful Java-based tool that helps you do an egocentric network study. It’s packed with everything you need to gather data and create your questionnaires, plus it lets you analyze trends and stats easily.

Easy to Use and No Installation Needed

The best part? Egonet doesn’t require any installation! You can just jump right in and start working with its user-friendly menus. Setting up a new study is a breeze; all you have to do is fill out the forms that pop up.

Customize Your Study

You can make your study truly yours by customizing the name and choosing how many alters (that’s just a fancy word for those being studied) you want to include. You can set maximum and minimum limits, along with other settings for your questionnaire. How cool is that?

Create Questions Your Way

When it comes to questions, you have options! You can create new ones from scratch or even import them from your computer. There are lots of question types to pick from like ego prompts, alter prompts, alter pairs, or just plain alters. Plus, you get to decide how people can answer—think text responses, categories, numbers, or even info-based answers!

Preview Functionality for Perfect Setup

Egonet has this awesome preview feature too! This means you can check out how the questions will look for participants before hitting save on your study. It also does network analysis and answer analysis so you can view all sorts of stats about the people you've surveyed.

The Importance of Egocentric Networks

You might not realize it, but egocentric networks focus on social relationships we see every day—like when we scroll through our Facebook or Twitter profiles. Egonet makes it easy for professional statisticians and anyone curious about these connections to dig into personal networks without breaking a sweat.
