Editing Communication and Social Networks (Fall 2023)/Final project (section)

=== Executive Report ===

You will prepare a ~5 page report, with the following sections:

* Introduction
** Give a compelling introduction to the project: why is this something worth studying? You may also want to preview some of the results of your research.
* Network Theory
** In your introduction, you will likely mention some network theories that helped to motivate your research. In this section, you will provide more detail about the theories, leading up to the development of 2-5 hypotheses or research questions. You should include at least three references to support your arguments.
* Method and Data
** You will explain how you are going to answer your research questions / hypotheses. Explain what data you will be using, and describe what analyses you will do, and why those are appropriate for answering your questions.
* Analysis
** For each hypothesis / research question, you will perform some sort of analysis. For some questions, this will be an analysis of network measures. For others, this might be a network visualization. Your analysis can include other types of analyses (e.g., statistical analyses) but it should include at least one network analysis and at least one visualization.
* Discussion and Conclusion
** Finally, write a few paragraphs 1) summarizing the findings from your analyses and 2) reflecting on how your findings fit in (or don't) with network theories you learned about in the class.
