Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Social networks have radically changed the way people produce and consume online information, further enabling new forms of interaction between people, objects, information, and services. On the other hand, the vast amount of data available from many online agents and sources has created an opportunity to address both new and longstanding questions.
However, if people and their social interactions can be represented as a graph, then the analysis of a social network undergoes network and graph theory.
This Special Issue encourages submissions in all areas of graph theory and algorithms and social network analysis. The focus is on the investigation of graph-based techniques for social networks with the aim of developing algorithms to make these systems more effective and efficient.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
