About
Our vision
Scientific progress depends on standard datasets for which claims, hypotheses, and algorithms can be compared and evaluated.
Despite the importance of having standard datasets, it is often impossible to find the original data used in published experiments, and at best it is difficult and time consuming.
This site is an effort to improve and facilitate the scientific study of complex networks by making it easier for researchers to download, analyze, and investigate a large collection of network data.
Our goal is to make these scientific network datasets widely available to everyone while also providing a first attempt at interactive analytics on the web.
We are always looking for talented individuals to help us with this project, so please contact us if you'd like to contribute to this project.
Download network data!
Thousands of benchmark network data sets
Download hundreds of benchmark network data sets from a variety of network types (social network data, brain networks, temporal networks, etc.).
Also share and contribute by uploading recent network data sets.
Naturally all conceivable data may be represented as a graph for analysis.
This includes recommendation system data (user purchases products, or user trusts another user), social networks, web graph data, and numerous other real-world datasets.
Network data may be visualized interactively via our web-based network analysis tool.
