Gephi is an open-source network analysis and visualization software package written in Java on the Netbeans platform. Envisioned as providing "easy and broad access to network data"[1], it's advertised as being "Like Photoshop for graphs." Gephi has been selected for the Google Summer of Code in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Gephi has been used in a number of research projects in the university, journalism and elsewhere, for instance in visualizing the global connectivity of New York Times content[2] and examining Twitter network traffic during social unrest[3][4] along with more traditional network analysis topics[5].

The Gephi Consortium is a French non-profit corporation which supports development of future releases of Gephi. Members include SciencesPo, Linkfluence, WebAtlas, and Quid.[6]

Gephi is also used to create the LinkedIn inMaps, as well as the network visualizations for Truthy[7].
