We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Complex network theory has demonstrated that many non-quantum systems exhibit similarities in their complex features, in the organization of their structure and dynamics, the controllability of their constituents, and their resilience to structural and dynamical perturbations.

    “complex network theory has demonstrated that many (non-quantum) systems exhibit similarities in their complex features 14 -18 , in the organization of their structure and dynamics 19 -24 , the controllability of their constituents 25 , and their resilience to structural and dynamical perturbations 26 -31 .”

    From Complex networks from classical to quantum (2019) · cites this paper as [16]

  • Most networks have well defined internal structures and can be described or demarcated with graph theoretical analyses.

    “Importantly, most networks have well defined internal structures and can be described or demarcated with graph theoretical analyses (Boccaletti et al., 2006).”
  • In many (but not all) complex networks the degree distribution is a power law with γ close to 2.

    “In many (but not all) complex networks the degree distribution is also a power law with γ close to 28910.”

    From Network Cosmology (2012) · cites this paper as [10]

  • Strong clustering is another structural property often observed in complex networks: average clustering in random graphs of similar size and average degree is lower by orders of magnitude.

    “Strong clustering is another structural property often observed in complex networks: average clustering in random graphs of similar size and average degree is lower by orders of magnitude8910.”

    From Network Cosmology (2012) · cites this paper as [10]

  • Cortico-cortical connections are directed as well as weighted.

    “Just as with many other real-world networks (Boccaletti et al. 2006), cortico-cortical connections are directed as well as weighted.”

    From A Weighted and Directed Interareal Connectivity Matrix for Macaque Cerebral Cortex (2014) · cites this paper as Boccaletti et al. 2006

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
