Recently, network pharmacology was a pop emerging pharmacology branch. The theory of "multi-gene, multi-target" about network pharmacology was consistent with treatment of complex disease. Different from the traditional experimental methods about pharmacology, the research methods of network pharmacology uniquely obtain the information of drugs and relative targets with less time and less money. In this paper, according to the searching of China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database and PubMed, three aspects about research methods of network pharmacology together with its applications were introduced: network construction, network analysis and experimental validation. The introductions of the methods gave us a new vision in researching the field of pharmacology deeply.
