Abstract
This paper presents MultiNets: a Javascript library for multilayer network visualization. MultiNets provides reusable HTML components with functions for loading, manipulation and visualization of multilayered networks. These components can be easily incorporated into any web page, and they allow users to perform exploratory analysis of multilayer networks and prepare publication quality network visualizations. MultiNets components are easily extendable to provide custom-based visualizations, such as embedding networks on geographical maps, and can be used for building complex web-based graphical user interfaces for data mining services that operate on multilayered networks and multirelational data in general.
