tethne API

Module contents

Tethne is a Python package that draws together tools and techniques from bibliometrics, computational linguistics, and social influence modeling into a single easy-to-use corpus analysis framework. Scholars can use Tethne to parse and organize data from the ISI Web of Science and JSTOR Data-for-Research databases, and generate time-variant citation-based network models, topic models, and social influence models. Tethne also provides mechanisms for visualizing those models using mainstream network visualization software (e.g. Cyotoscape and Gephi) and the MatPlotLib Python library.
