Education and career
editHe is well known for his work on Pajek,[3] a free software for analysis and visualization of large networks.[4] Mrvar began work on Pajek in 1996 with Vladimir Batagelj.
His book Exploratory Social Network Analysis with Pajek, coauthored with Wouter de Nooy and Vladimir Batagelj, is his most cited work. It was published by Cambridge University Press in three editions (first 2005, second 2011, and third 2018).[4] The book was translated into Japanese (2009) and Chinese (first edition 2012, second 2014).
With Anuška Ferligoj, he was a founding co-editor-in-chief of the Metodološki zvezki journal.[5]
