Example of Gephi network visualization.[2]

Gephi is an open-source network analysis and visualization software package written in Java on the NetBeans platform.[3]

History

Initially developed by students of the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC)[4] in France, Gephi has been selected for the Google Summer of Code in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Its last version, 0.9.0 has been launched in December 2015,[5] with updates in February 2016 (0.9.1)[6] and September 2017 (0.9.2).[7] Previous versions are 0.6.0 (2008), 0.7.0 (2010), 0.8.0 (2011), 0.8.1 (2012) and 0.8.2 (2013).[8]

The Gephi Consortium, created in 2010, is a French non-profit corporation which supports development of future releases of Gephi. Members include SciencesPo, Linkfluence, WebAtlas, and Quid.[9] Gephi is also supported by a large community of users, structured on a discussion group[10] and a forum[11] and producing numerous blogposts, papers and tutorials.[12]

Applications

Gephi has been used in a number of research projects in academia, journalism and elsewhere, for instance in visualizing the global connectivity of New York Times content[13] and examining Twitter network traffic during social unrest[14][15] along with more traditional network analysis topics.[16] Gephi is widely used within the digital humanities (in history,[17] literature, political sciences, etc.), a community where many of its developers are involved.

Gephi inspired the LinkedIn InMaps[18] and was used for the network visualizations for Truthy.[19]
