A study on coevolutionary dynamics of knowledge diffusion and social network structure

作者：

Highlights：

• A model is proposed to study the coevolution of network and knowledge.

• The network evolves from random to small-world, when knowledge diversity remains.

• The small-world diminishes with the reduction of knowledge-transfer effectiveness.

• Strong cohesion can lead to network separation, and reduce long-term transfer.
