Fast algorithm for detecting community structure in networks.
TLDR
An algorithm is described which gives excellent results when tested on both computer-generated and real-world networks and is much faster, typically thousands of times faster, than previous algorithms.Abstract:
Many networks display community structure--groups of vertices within which connections are dense but between which they are sparser--and sensitive computer algorithms have in recent years been developed for detecting this structure. These algorithms, however, are computationally demanding, which limits their application to small networks. Here we describe an algorithm which gives excellent results when tested on both computer-generated and real-world networks and is much faster, typically thousands of times faster, than previous algorithms. We give several example applications, including one to a collaboration network of more than 50,000 physicists.read more

The Prince and the Pauper: Search and Brokerage in the Initiation of Status-Heterophilous Ties
TL;DR: This work examines how a brokerage position coupled with aspiration--performance gaps affects an organization's propensity to initiate ties to partners of different status, and suggests that organizations in brokerage positions set social and historical aspiration levels differently from nonbrokers, levels that affect decisions about partner selection.

Estimating the Number of Communities in a Network.
TL;DR: A mathematically principled approach for finding the number of communities in a network by maximizing the integrated likelihood of the observed network structure under an appropriate generative model is described.

Structural properties of scale‐free networks
TL;DR: The structural properties of scale-free networks are studied and it is shown that in the regime 2 < < 3 the networks are resilient to random breakdown and the percolation transition occurs only in the limit of extreme dilution.

Communities, knowledge creation, and information diffusion
TL;DR: It is shown that highly cited scientific production occurs within communities, when scientists have cohesive collaborations with others from the same knowledge domain, and across communities,When scientists intermediate among otherwise disconnected collaborators from different knowledge domains.

Online social networks: measurement, analysis, and applications to distributed information systems
Peter Druschel,Alan Mislove +1 more
TL;DR: This thesis conducts the first large-scale measurement study of multiple online social networks at scale, capturing information about over 50 million users and 400 million links, and identifies a common structure across multiple networks, characterizes the underlying processes that are shaping the network structure, and exposes the rich community structure.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

TL;DR: Developments in this field are reviewed, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.

Community structure in social and biological networks
Michelle Girvan,Mark Newman +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes a method for detecting communities, built around the idea of using centrality indices to find community boundaries, and tests it on computer-generated and real-world graphs whose community structure is already known and finds that the method detects this known structure with high sensitivity and reliability.

Finding and evaluating community structure in networks.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the algorithms proposed are highly effective at discovering community structure in both computer-generated and real-world network data, and can be used to shed light on the sometimes dauntingly complex structure of networked systems.
