Dear Yansong:
Before you come into conclusions regarding centrality, you may use
Faust, Katherine and John Skvoretz 2002 “Comparing networks across space
and time, size and species.” Pages 267-299 in Sociological Methodology
2002, volume 32 edited by Ross Stolzenberg. Cambridge, MA: Basil Blackwell.
