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 an update in February 2016[6] (0.9.1). Previous versions are 0.6.0 (2008), 0.7.0 (2010), 0.8.0 (2011), 0.8.1 (2012) and 0.8.2 (2013).[7]

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.[8] Gephi is also supported by a large community of users, structured on a discussion group[9] and a forum[10] and producing numerous blogposts, papers and tutorials.[11]

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[12] and examining Twitter network traffic during social unrest[13][14] along with more traditional network analysis topics.[15] Gephi is widely used within the digital humanities, a community where many of its developers are involved.

Gephi inspired the LinkedIn InMaps[16] and was used for the network visualizations for Truthy.[17]

Gephi can also import data to social networks also Facebook or Twitter and generate a graph and clusters.
