Topological metrics in academic genealogy graphs

作者：

Highlights：

• We present a set of metrics that capture the topological structure of an academic genealogy graph.

• Metrics have strong semantic intuition and reflect mentoring performance.

• Two genealogical datasets (MGP and AFT) were used as a case studies.

• The set of metrics is capable of capturing the configuration pattern existing in genealogy graphs.
