Consider Edges without connections

[Mapgephi]

Hi guys,

I try to visualize my citation analysis with gephi, so I imported an excel sheet with all the connections (who is cited by whom). My problem is how to consider those authors who are not cited. They would have no connection in my graph, but that's what I would like to show.
It's not possible to mention those not cited authors in my excel sheet only as a source, because a target is always necessary.

Do you know a solution? Looking forward for your help.
Thanks a lot!

I think you mean "nodes without connections".

It seems that one way to do it is to list the nodes first, and then list the connections in a CSV file:

Code: Select all

A
B
C
D
A;B
C;A

Load this CSV file, and you should see that the node D exists but has no edges connected to it.

I think there's another way to do this by putting nodes and edges in different CSV files, and then loading the files using the "Import Spreadsheet" tab on the Data Laboratory tab. The file formats are described here: https://gephi.github.io/users/supported ... readsheet/. I haven't tried this, though.

There are other file formats that Gephi supports that allow specifying nodes without edges, but I think these two strategies are probably closest to what you have been trying.

Thanks a lot! It worked and the nodes without connection are included!
