== Software Implementation ==

Main path analysis is implemented in [http://mrvar.fdv.uni-lj.si/pajek/ Pajek], a widely used freeware[[social network analysis]] software written by [[Vladimir Batagelj]] and Andrej Mrvar of [[University of Ljubljana]], Slovenia. To run main path analysis in Pajek, one needs to first prepare a citation network and have Pajek reads in the network. Next, in the Pajek main menu, computes the traversal counts of all links in the network applying one of the following command sequences (depending on the choice of traversal counts).

''<small>Network → Acyclic Network → Create Weighted Network + Vector → Traversal Weights → Search Path Link Count (SPC), or</small>''
