Geography in a Scale-Free Network Model [PDF]
We offer an example of an network model with a power law degree distribution, P(k) ~ k^{-alpha}, for nodes but which nevertheless has a well-defined geography and a nonzero threshold percolation probability for alpha>2, the range of real-world contact networks. This is different from the p_c=0 for alpha<3 results for well-mixed scale-free networks.

Investigating internal migration with network analysis and latent space representations: An application to Turkey [PDF]
