| Network Genie | (Software) |
Network Genie is an online application for designing and managing social network projects. Network Genie is a fee-for-service application, but priced reasonably to encourage broad use.
Network Genie helps you:
• Design network surveys and survey questions. The application handles ego-centric networks, complete networks, and hybrid networks (egos can be giving the option to add names of alters that accumulate within the network). Users can design surveys to meet their needs including both social network and person-centered questions. Social network question formats allow egos to identify subgroups of alters, to rate and rank alters, to identify single alters who most exemplify a quality, and to rate alter-to-alter relationships.
• Manage social network projects. The application allows you to manage network lists and share responsibilities with a team of colleagues.
• Collect social network data using online forms. This includes sending email invitations to participate and monitoring survey completion.
• Download and export data to the social network analysis program of your choice. Formats currently supported include CVS (comma separated variable), Inflow, NEGOPY, Multinet, Pajek, Siena, and UCINet. More formats will become available upon request. |

| Sunbelt XXX - June 29 to July 04, 2010 - Riva del Garda Fierecongressi | | Abstract : Response to Emailed Invitations: Sunbelt XXIX Online Survey |
| At the conclusion of Sunbelt XXIX, 567 conference participants were emailed invitations to participate in a social network survey. Participation was voluntary; invitations included a disclaimer that the survey was not sponsored or endorsed by INSNA. Items asked participants (egos) to identify people with whom they conversed at the conference (alters). Because not all attendees' names were included in the conference spreadsheet, egos were allowed to add additional names that then became alters for themselves and for all egos who subsequently logged on to complete the survey. After 9 days, 15% of attendees had responded to the survey at which time a second email invitation was sent. This invitation increased the response rate to 26% of attendees by the 17th day of survey administration. A final invitation was sent to participants who had not yet started the survey on the 18th day. By the 25th day, 187 egos (33%) had participated. Of those invited, 15 (2.5%) made a formal request to be excluded from participating in the survey as egos. Reasons for requesting exclusion were frequently given and included the fact that they had not attended as well as time commitments to other activities. By the close of the survey, 46 alters not originally listed had been added by egos, bringing the total of potential alters to 613. Overall, the 187 egos had selected 509 alters as part of their conference network. The key finding from the survey experience is the value of multiple invitations when completing online surveys that include emailed invitations. Multiple invitations allowed us to double the number of participants in this voluntary survey event. |
