An awesome list of network analysis resources
Inspired by the awesome R list that I mentioned a few months ago, I have started the awesome-network-analysis list, which features a large section on R packages.

ggnetwork: Network geometries for ggplot2
This note is a ~~shameless plug~~ demo of the ggnetwork package, which provides several geoms to plot network objects with ggplot2, and which just got published on CRAN. See the package vignette for a more detailed guide to its functionalities.

Exponential random graph models with R
This note documents the small but growing microverse of R packages on CRAN to produce various forms of exponential random graph models (ERGMs), which are a kind of modelling strategy akin to logistic regression for dyadic data.

From networkx to igraph
This note translates the code from an interesting blog post (in French) from Python to R. The code includes a function to compute closeness vitality with the igraph package.

Visualizing networks with ggplot2
This note describes a few ways to handle network objects (which might be objects of class igraph or network, or data frames representing edge lists) through graphical methods that rely on ggplot2.

Serrano et al.'s disparity filter algorithm for directed networks
The disparity filter algorithm by Serrano et al. is a network reduction technique to identify the ‘backbone’ of a weighted network. This note explains how to implement the algorithm in full, based on existing implementations and on Serrano et al.'s paper.

Working with R network objects
Here are a few things that I have learnt while working with R network objects, using the igraph and network + sna packages (the last two packages go well together).
