network centrality

Network centrality is a way to measure how important or influential a person, website, or node is within a network. Think of a social network: someone with high centrality might be a connector who interacts with many others or a key figure who links different groups together. In technical terms, centrality helps identify who holds a strategic position—like being a hub or a bridge— enabling them to influence, spread information, or access resources efficiently within the network. It’s a useful tool for analyzing relationships and understanding the structure of complex systems.
