Inequality and cumulative advantage in science careers: a case study of high-impact journals
Alexander M. Petersen, Orion Penner
Analyzing a large data set of publications drawn from the most competitive journals in the natural and social sciences we show that research careers exhibit the broad distributions…
Tail-scope: Using friends to estimate heavy tails of degree distributions in large-scale complex networks
Young-Ho Eom, Hang-Hyun Jo
Many complex networks in natural and social phenomena have often been characterized by heavy-tailed degree distributions. However, due to rapidly growing size of network data and c…
Instability and network effects in innovative markets
Paolo Sgrignoli, Elena Agliari, Raffaella Burioni +1
We consider a network of interacting agents and we model the process of choice on the adoption of a given innovative product by means of statistical-mechanics tools. The modelizati…
The Scientific Competitiveness of Nations
Giulio Cimini, Andrea Gabrielli, Francesco Sylos Labini
We use citation data of scientific articles produced by individual nations in different scientific domains to determine the structure and efficiency of national research systems. W…
The Italian primary school-size distribution and the city-size: a complex nexus
Alessandro Belmonte, Riccardo Di Clemente, Sergey V. Buldyrev
We characterize the statistical law according to which Italian primary school-size distributes. We find that the school-size can be approximated by a log-normal distribution, with…
Voting Behavior, Coalitions and Government Strength through a Complex Network Analysis
Carlo Dal Maso, Gabriele Pompa, Michelangelo Puliga +2
We analyze the network of relations between parliament members according to their voting behavior. In particular, we examine the emergent community structure with respect to politi…
