A formative journal for a formative career: a personal recollection of how JCPA has inspired and guided my research life

A fateful decision as a 15-year-old high school student, and good advice from a distinguished professor of zoology, were the catalysts that not only decided my entire career but also led me to the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, and to the myriad biological wonders that were held within its covers. In my celebration of JCPA, I look back on the formative years of my career in Australia, and the crucial role that the journal played in shaping my emerging research interests, and ultimately my entire life.

Overlapping Community Discovery Based on the Combination of Node Influence and β-Connected Neighbors

We propose an overlapping community discovery algorithm that combines node influence and [Formula: see text]-connected neighbors for effectively detecting the overlapping community structure of complex networks. On the basis of the node influence and [Formula: see text]-connected neighbors, our method accurately detects the core node community and uses the improved similarity between the node and community to expand the core node community. Accordingly, the discovery and optimization of network overlapping communities are realized. Experiments on artificial and real-world networks demonstrate that our method significantly and consistently outperforms other comparison methods.
