Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification
TL;DR: In this article, three distinct intuitive notions of centrality are uncovered and existing measures are refined to embody these conceptions, and the implications of these measures for the experimental study of small groups are examined.

TL;DR: A model of tagging systems, specifically in the context of web-based systems, is offered to help illustrate the possible benefits of these tools and a simple taxonomy of incentives and contribution models is provided to inform potential evaluative frameworks.

On variants of shortest-path betweenness centrality and their generic computation ☆
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of variants are reviewed, placed into context, and shown to be computable with simple variants of the algorithm commonly used for the standard case.

The network analysis of urban streets: A dual approach
TL;DR: The authors show that the absence of any clue of assortativity differentiates urban street networks from other non-geographic systems and that most of the considered networks have a broad degree distribution typical of scale-free networks and exhibit small-world properties as well.
Predicting with networks: nonparametric multiple regression analysis of dyadic data *
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) is superior to OLS for testing hypothesis in both simple and multiple regression models based on dyadic data, such as found in network analysis.

Changing Patterns or Patterns of Change: The Effects of a Change in Technology on Social Network Structure and Power.
TL;DR: Burkhardt et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the network structure and power in the context of the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University, and proposed a model of network structure, power and network structure.

A Set of Measures of Centrality Based on Betweenness
Linton C. Freeman
- 01 Mar 1977
TL;DR: A family of new measures of point and graph centrality based on early intuitions of Bavelas (1948) is introduced in this paper, which define centrality in terms of the degree to which a point falls on the shortest path between others and there fore has a potential for control of communication.

Optimum Locations of Switching Centers and the Absolute Centers and Medians of a Graph
TL;DR: It is shown that the optimum location of a switching center is always at a vertex of the communication network while the best location for the police station is not necessarily at an intersection.
