Figure 8
Quantitative analysis of mentorship clusters.
A, Curve shows the number of researchers in clusters 1–60, plotted on a logarithmic axis. The very large clusters (>3000 researchers) suggest that some groups, which often appear centrally in Figure 6, are difficult to partition with the current algorithm. B, Average distance between nodes within each cluster (blue) and with nodes in other clusters (green). Small within-cluster distance and large between-cluster distance indicate groups that were well partitioned from the main Neurotree graph.
