Centrality and network flow
TLDR
A key claim made in this paper is that centrality measures can be regarded as generating expected values for certain kinds of node outcomes given implicit models of how traffic flows, and that this provides a new and useful way of thinking about centrality.About:

Node centrality in weighted networks: Generalizing degree and shortest paths.
TL;DR: This paper proposes generalizations that combine tie strength and node centrality, and illustrates the benefits of this approach by applying one of them to Freeman’s EIES dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Graph-theoretic perspective on centrality
TL;DR: This paper develops a unified framework for the measurement of centrality and shows centrality to be intimately connected with the cohesive subgroup structure of a network.
Journal ArticleDOI
The connectomics of brain disorders
TL;DR: This work considers how brain-network topology shapes neural responses to damage, highlighting key maladaptive processes and the resources and processes that enable adaptation, and shows how knowledge of network topology allows for predictive models of the spread and functional consequences of brain disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Network Theory
TL;DR: This paper analyzes two well-known network theories, Granovetter's strength of weak ties theory and Burt's structural holes theory, to identify characteristic elements of network theorizing and argues that both theories share an underlying theoretical model, which is labelled the network flow model, from which they derive additional implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation
Jeanne Lave,Etienne Wenger +1 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice is not confined to midwives, tailors, quartermasters, butchers, non-drinking alcoholics and the like.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical clustering schemes
TL;DR: A useful correspondence is developed between any hierarchical system of such clusters, and a particular type of distance measure, that gives rise to two methods of clustering that are computationally rapid and invariant under monotonic transformations of the data.

Power and Centrality: A Family of Measures
TL;DR: In this article, the rank orderings by the four networks whose analysis forms the heart of this paper were analyzed and compared to the rank ordering by the three centrality measures, i.e., betweenness, nearness, and degree.
