Featured NodeXL Network

The spread of the Corona virus has led to a rapid increase in the spread of conspiracy theories in social media. Studies of misinformation and disinformation in social media can be facilitated by using NodeXL.

Our featured network shows the discussions around the search term "conspiracy theory" OR "conspiracy theories".

Update: NodeXL Pro - Power BI Edition

In our last newsletter we announced that Team NodeXL is working on a new update that integrates NodeXL Twitter social media network data sets with Microsoft Power BI. We would like to inform you that the prototype is finished and we are getting much closer to the release in August 2020. Stay tuned!

Power BI is an application that builds on Excel data and SQL databases to deliver interactive data visualization and analysis to the desktop and the web.  The Microsoft Power BI Desktop application is free for all users.  The Power BI Pro web service does charge a modest monthly fee (USD $9) for additional features (many universities and large corporations may already have access to Power BI Pro - check with your IT support!).

Coming soon:
NodeXL Pro YouTube Importer Improvements

NodeXL Pro has improved access to the YouTube API and more updates and tutorials are coming soon.

NodeXL can now create YouTube networks built from Comments and Replies along with Videos linked to others by the YouTube recommendation engine.  Analysis of these networks will now be easy to perform via NodeXL.

Using these features we hope researchers will gain deeper insight into the ways videos form communities that shape people's perceptions and beliefs.
