academia_edu — Academia.edu (2011)
- Description
A snapshot of the follower network among users of Academia.edu, a platform where academics share their papers and follow the research of other academics. Nodes are users, and a directed edge $i \to j$ means that user $i$ follows user $j$. The data were collected (around 2011) and anonymized by M. Fire and collaborators at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and used as one of the social networks in their study of link prediction.
The network has the following properties:
- (Node)
name: the anonymized user identifier.
- (Node)
