Periodic Table of Network Centrality


This is an interactive periodic table of centrality indices I gathered in the course of my PhD. Clicking on a specific index will pop up the respective paper. The number in the upper right corner is the year the paper was published. The number below the name is the number of citations the paper received (June 2016).

The indices shown are definitely not all existing one's, but rather a sample containing all well known and traditional measures, indices used in biological networks and some I randomly stumbled upon. The purpose of this table is to illustrate the abundance of existing indices and should definitely not be used for scientific purposes.
