Gephi, an open-source software tailored for network visualization and analysis, took center stage during the workshop. Its utility in dissecting vast networks, particularly social networks, and delving into Big Data was emphasized. Through interactive sessions, Mr. Dilan facilitated hands-on experiences for the attendees, guiding them through the intricacies of Social Network Analysis using Gephi and illustrating its application in Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR).
