GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Title of Dataset: Social-Cohesion-Small-scale-Fisheries-Puerto-Rico

2. Dataset Summary: Repository for the anonimized raw data, processed data, and code used in the quantitative social network analysis of cooperation networks in the commercial small-scale fisheries of Puerto Rico during 2020. This repository encompasses the quantiative data utilized for the peer-reviewed article published in the Frontiers in Marine Science journal (https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2022.966309), and represents a sub-set of the datasets obtained throughout this research project stored in the PR-SSF-SNA Github repository.

DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. File List: <list all files (or folders, as appropriate for dataset organization) contained in the dataset, with a brief description>

2. Relationship between files, if important: Use in numeric order to carry out the analysis presented in the publication.

3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package:

   1. Gear and sectorial conflicts, in the form of ego-centric network data.
   2. Network of work-support among commercial fishers, not just institutional actors.
   3. Attributes of fishers related to social capital and markets during the pandemic.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data:

2. Methods for processing the data:

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: e. All quantitative analysis was done in R software, version 3.6.1. Network processing 321 and exploratory analysis were done in the network, sna, igraph, and GGally packages (Butts, 2007 Butts, 2008; Csardi & Nepusz, 2006; Schloerke et al., 2018). The statnet and ergm packages were used for the ERGM modeling (Handcock et al., 2008; Hunter et al., 2008).

4. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Only Nicolas Gomez
