Most-cited papers in Journal of Complex Networks

Multilayer networks

Mikko Kivelä, Àlex Arenas, Marc Barthélemy et al. · 14 Jul 2014

In most natural and engineered systems, a set of entities interact with each other in complicated patterns that can encompass multiple types of relationships, change in time and include other types of complications. Such systems include multiple subsystems and layers of connectivity, and it is important to take such ‘multilayer’ features into account to try…

MuxViz: a tool for multilayer analysis and visualization of networks

M. De Domenico, M. A. Porter, A. Arenas · 12 Oct 2014

Multilayer relationships among entities and information about entities must be accompanied by the means to analyze, visualize, and obtain insights from such data. We present open-source software (muxViz) that contains a collection of algorithms for the analysis of multilayer networks, which are an important way to represent a large variety of complex systems throughout science…

Structure and dynamics of core/periphery networks

P. Csermely, A. London, L.-Y. Wu et al. · 29 Oct 2013

Recent studies uncovered important core/periphery network structures characterizing complex sets of cooperative and competitive interactions between network nodes, be they proteins, cells, species or humans. Better characterization of the structure, dynamics and function of core/periphery networks is a key step of our understanding cellular functions, species adaptation, social and market changes. Here we summarize the…

Assortativity in complex networks

Rogier Noldus, Piet Van Mieghem · 26 Mar 2015

We survey the concept of assortativity, starting from its original definition by Newman in 2002. Degree assortativity is the most commonly used form of assortativity. Degree assortativity is extensively used in network science. Since degree assortativity alone is not sufficient as a graph analysis tool, assortativity is usually combined with other graph metrics. Much of…

Information cascades in complex networks

Mahdi Jalili, Matjaž Perc · 1 Jun 2017

Information cascades are important dynamical processes in complex networks. An information cascade can describe the spreading dynamics of rumour, disease, memes, or marketing campaigns, which initially start from a node or a set of nodes in the network. If conditions are right, information cascades rapidly encompass large parts of the network, thus leading to epidemics…

Journal of Complex Networks template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Complex Networks format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Complex Networks template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Complex Networks use?
Journal of Complex Networks uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Complex Networks, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Complex Networks?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Journal of Complex Networks document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Complex Networks template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Complex Networks format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Complex Networks?
Journal of Complex Networks is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Journal of Complex Networks template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Complex Networks PDF?
