Social Network Analysis (SNA) is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers or other information/knowledge processing entities. The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. [Krebs, 2008] [CD-JRA-1.1.5]

Network analysis is the study of social relations among a set of actors (behavior of the network). It is a field of study which concerns with a set of phenomena or data that we seek to understand. Moreover, it is  a collective analysis of data supported by social interaction. [What is social network Analysis]
