Key Nodes

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.

Out-degree centrality

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.
