This chart shows the Location that is repeatedly top-ranked in the measures listed below. The value shown is the percentage of measures for which the Location was ranked in the top three.
Total degree centrality
The Total Degree Centrality of a node is the normalized sum of its row and column degrees. Individuals or organizations who are "in the know" are those who are linked to many others and so, by virtue of their position have access to the ideas, thoughts, beliefs of many others. Individuals who are "in the know" are identified by degree centrality in the relevant social network. Those who are ranked high on this metrics have more connections to others in the same network. The scientific name of this measure is total degree centrality and it is calculated on the agent by agent matrices.

Mean: 0.541 Mean in random network: 1.000 Std.dev: 0.081 Std.dev in random network: 0.000 In-degree centrality
The In Degree Centrality of a node is its normalized in-degree. For any node, e.g. an individual or a resource, the in-links are the connections that the node of interest receives from other nodes. For example, imagine an agent by knowledge matrix then the number of in-links a piece of knowledge has is the number of agents that are connected to. The scientific name of this measure is in-degree and it is calculated on the agent by agent matrices.

For any node, e.g. an individual or a resource, the out-links are the connections that the node of interest sends to other nodes. For example, imagine an agent by knowledge matrix then the number of out-links an agent would have is the number of pieces of knowledge it is connected to. The scientific name of this measure is out-degree and it is calculated on the agent by agent matrices. Individuals or organizations who are high in most knowledge have more expertise or are associated with more types of knowledge than are others. If no sub-network connecting agents to knowledge exists, then this measure will not be calculated. The scientific name of this measure is out degree centrality and it is calculated on agent by knowledge matrices. Individuals or organizations who are high in "most resources" have more resources or are associated with more types of resources than are others. If no sub-network connecting agents to resources exists, then this measure will not be calculated. The scientific name of this measure is out degree centrality and it is calculated on agent by resource matrices.

Calculates the principal eigenvector of the network. A node is central to the extent that its neighbors are central. Leaders of strong cliques are individuals who or organizations who are collected to others that are themselves highly connected to each other. In other words, if you have a clique then the individual most connected to others in the clique and other cliques, is the leader of the clique. Individuals or organizations who are connected to many otherwise isolated individuals or organizations will have a much lower score in this measure then those that are connected to groups that have many connections themselves. The scientific name of this measure is eigenvector centrality and it is calculated on agent by agent matrices.

Calculates the principal eigenvector of the network. A node is central to the extent that its neighbors are central. Each component is extracted as a separate network, Eigenvector Centrality is computed on it and scaled according to the component size. The scores are then combined into a single result vector.

The average closeness of a node to the other nodes in a network (also called out-closeness). Loosely, Closeness is the inverse of the average distance in the network from the node to all other nodes.

The Betweenness Centrality of node v in a network is defined as: across all node pairs that have a shortest path containing v, the percentage that pass through v. Individuals or organizations that are potentially influential are positioned to broker connections between groups and to bring to bear the influence of one group on another or serve as a gatekeeper between groups. This agent occurs on many of the shortest paths between other agents. The scientific name of this measure is betweenness centrality and it is calculated on agent by agent matrices.

A node is hub-central to the extent that its out-links are to nodes that have many in-links. Individuals or organizations that act as hubs are sending information to a wide range of others each of whom has many others reporting to them. Technically, an agent is hub-central if its out-links are to agents that have many other agents sending links to them. The scientific name of this measure is hub centrality and it is calculated on agent by agent matrices.

The number of distinct cliques to which each node belongs. Individuals or organizations who are high in number of cliques are those that belong to a large number of distinct cliques. A clique is defined as a group of three or more actors that have many connections to each other and relatively fewer connections to those in other groups. The scientific name of this measure is clique count and it is calculated on the agent by agent matrices.
