Datasets of networks

This is a small list of datasets used during the practicum or assignments of the Networks Science course. It is not intended to be a full repository of datasets. See links at the bottom of this file.

How to download

The easiest way of getting these datasets is to simply clone this entire repository locally in your laptop. That way you will have all the datasets, all the practice handouts, all the slides from theory, etc. Additionally, if any practice or dataset is revised by the course instructors, you can easily obtain the revised version.

If, instead, you want to do this the hard way, you can download from GitHub’s web interface in the data/ directory in the repository.

• For large files, browse to the dataset and click on “Download” (on the top-right corner).
• For small files, browse to the dataset and click on “Raw” (on the top-right corner) and then “Save as …” in your browser. If you are in Windows, be careful with the additional extension (usually .text) added by the operating system.
