L'analyse des réseaux sociaux est avant tout une boîte à outils permettant de visualiser et modéliser les relations sociales comme des nœuds (les individus, les organisations…) et des liens (relations entre ces nœuds). De ce fait, l'analyse des réseaux sociaux repose sur des visualisations graphiques issues d'algorithmes permettant de calculer des degrés de force ou de densité entre les différents acteurs d'un réseau. Ainsi, l'analyse des réseaux sociaux est fondée sur une approche structurale des relations entre membres d'un milieu social organisé.
