Betweenness Centrality as a Driver of Preferential Attachment in the Evolution of Research Collaboration Networks

open access: yesJournal of Informetrics, 2012
We analyze whether preferential attachment in scientific coauthorship networks is different for authors with different forms of centrality. Using a complete database for the scientific specialty of research about "steel structures," we show that ...

Computing classic closeness centrality, at scale [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the second ACM conference on Online social networks, 2014
Closeness centrality, first considered by Bavelas (1948), is an importance measure of a node in a network which is based on the distances from the node to all other nodes. The classic definition, proposed by Bavelas (1950), Beauchamp (1965), and Sabidussi (1966), is (the inverse of) the average distance to all other nodes.

Closeness centrality via the Condorcet principle

open access: yesSocial Networks, 2023
We uncover a new relation between Closeness centrality and the Condorcet principle. We define a Condorcet winner in a graph as a node that compared to any other node is closer to more nodes. In other words, if we assume that nodes vote on a closer candidate, a Condorcet winner would win a two-candidate election against any other node in a plurality ...
