Projects

Choosing a project
Project types:
- Analysis. The analysis cannot be one that you have already done in your research. It can, however, be a new analysis that will advance your research. Hence, students are encouraged to use their own research data to advance their research. Alternatively, the project can be based on data available online.
- Theoretical development.
- Literature review of a thematic subject (minimum 6 papers reviewed).
Projects should be chosen by the end of Day 4 at most.
After you have decided on a topic, fill in this form which includes:
- Title
- Max 150 words of the background and research question. No references needed.
- Max 200 words on the methodology+data you will use.

The goal of the final report is for you to practice and improve scientific writing. The final report will be 1500 words max, with up to 3 figures. Reviews will be max 2500 words and 2 figures. Submit the final report by email to me.
The report for analysis projects must include the following sections:
- Background

- Network definition (what are the nodes, links, layers, etc)
- Methods
- Network analysis methodology.
- Code (link to code and specification of the packages used).
- Results (with 2 figures for results)
- Discussion
- Code should be uploaded as well, preferably via GitHub.
The final report is due by 21/3/2026.
