Scientific collaboration network of researchers at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) and their extended partners - network 1. Panel A presents a SCN that includes collaboration links among researchers of INMEGEN with each other and also with scientists from other institutions, also collaborations between the latter as long as they have also coauthored publications with researchers from INMEGEN within the same network. Panel B depicts the same network, nodes are size-coded and color-coded according with their connectivity degree. The presence of a couple of well-connected individuals (bigger red nodes) as well as a number of medium-high connected ones (orange mid-sized nodes) points out to the existence of some kind of hierarchic structure. In panel C we can see the connectivity degree distribution that shows a somehow anomalous behavior in the very low degree region, and then displays a typical power-law behavior. This anomaly (a very low number of barely connected nodes) may be due to incidental collaboration. In panel D we can see the average clustering coefficient that also presents a left-hand tail, most likely also due to incidental collaboration and after this a power-law like behavior. Panel E presents the short path length distribution, which is a quasi-symmetric unimodal with an average length of three steps.
