Net-Map is an interview-based mapping tool that helps people understand, visualize, discuss, and improve situations in which many different actors influence outcomes. A very good example that science does not always have to be rather boring is provided by Linton C. Freeman.

Right-click here and save a pdf-file with some figures that may help to understand intuitively, what some network scientists like to pack into complicated, never ending sentences and papers.
Have fun!
