When to Use Network Visualization

Network visualization is appropriate when your data involves relationships:
  - Citation networks (papers citing other papers)
  - Co-authorship networks (researchers who collaborate)
  - Social networks (individuals connected by interactions)
  - Biological networks (protein interactions, gene regulation)
  - Knowledge graphs (concepts linked by relationships)
  - Trade/flow networks (countries, organizations, resources)
