Galaxyadvisor’s Condor dynamic social network analysis tool puts the full power of collective prediction at your fingertips. Condor permits you to run highly customized queries, zooming in on precisely the data sources at the time intervals that make most sense and are most valuable for you.

Condor permits to zoom in on e-Mail archives, online mailing lists, and various Internet sources and to only analyze the Web sites, blogs, and online forums that matter for you.

As output, Condor generates movies of social networks, many different social network metrics (betweenness, degree, density, contribution index, etc.) and also permits to export data to Excel and other statistics packages such as Matlab, SPSS, or SAS.

Condor’s term view generates a movie of the most significant terms of a document collection. Watching both the social network and term movie in parallel is a unique way to quickly understand the discourse on a topic in an online community.

Enter the search terms into Condor and create highly targeted Web-link networks through using the RRS Feed of Microsoft Live (for the Web) and Google Blogsearch (for blogs). When searching for Pfizer, for example enter ‘Pfizer’ and its well-know competitors, to get a ranked overview of the industry: “Pfizer, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis”.

Windows XP, Vista, Mac OSX, Linux, Java. Condor results can be exported to MySQL, Excel, MatLab, SPSS, SAS.

Search Google News for the latest news about people and concepts. This will give you the most important news articles and Web sites and the most important people related to the brands and names.

Search in Google Scholar for the most important researchers publishing scientific papers on a topic. This is particularly relevant for scientific trends, e.g. inpharma, or high-tech.

Search the galaxyadvisors medical research database for the most important researchers, first filtering for the search terms, and then generating the social network of the researchers publishing in the field you want to analyze.

Ranking and sorting of results – both the search terms, and the URLs – is done based on galaxyadvisors patent-pending centrality measures. This means – other than all other search engines, including Google – search results are always ranked in context, and not in absolute terms .
