Network Centrality
“Having many ties, joining routes, and being close to others are different kinds of centrality.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Centrality includes measures of position such as degree, betweenness, closeness, and eigenvector-based measures. Each answers a different question about access, paths, or dependency.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A person with few contacts may be crucial when all communication between two departments passes through them.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
A central graph position does not automatically mean leadership, real influence, or value to the group.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Choose the measure only after defining the relation and capacity you want to study.
