standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.| relation to other work | claim_relations | how this paper stands to another: agrees, contradicts, extends, qualifies |
| claim type | claim_type | the shape of the claim: existence, mechanism, method, critique, prediction, null |
| concept edge | concept_edges | an asserted relation between two concepts, with the sentence asserting it |
| concept | concepts | an idea the paper works with, quoted where the paper uses it |
| content tag | content_tags | a finding, definition, quantity, statistic or variable named in the paper |
| limitation | limitations | what the paper says its evidence cannot support |
| mechanism | mechanisms | how the reported effect is said to come about |
| method | method | how the paper produced its evidence |
| phenomenon | phenomenon | the effect or regularity under study |
| sense | senses | a distinct use of a term, quoted where the paper fixes it |
| transfer | transfers | a method or concept carried in from another field |
Relations on this page carry a quotation for the claim. Where a relation was separately evidenced — and so tested against the vocabulary for its type — the row says so; 8 of 9 relations here carry that mark. The rest are the tagger’s reading of the sentence quoted beside them.
This record holds no controls. A layer is empty when the tagger recorded nothing in it — which is not the same as the paper having nothing to record.

| limitations | the crucial theoretical developments in the field remain open Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the theoretical claims of the review: IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT THE CRUCIAL THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE IN THIS AREA | limitations[0] | the tagger's words | |
| limitations | The review acknowledges that the study of networks is incomplete and that only some of the described network variants are covered by the work it reviews. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the coverage of the survey: THE STUDY OF NETWORKS IS BY NO MEANS A COMPLETE SCIENCE YET, AND MANY OF THE POSSIBILITIES HAVE YET TO BE EXPLORED IN DEPTH | limitations[1] | the tagger's words | |
| limitations | The field reviewed has no systematic programme for characterising network structure, so the measures surveyed may not be the important ones. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: every structural measure surveyed: WE DO NOT YET, AS WE DO IN SOME OTHER FIELDS, HAVE A SYSTEMATIC PROGRAM FOR CHARACTERIZING NETWORK STRUCTURE - the measures are ad hoc by the review's own account | limitations[2] | the tagger's words | |
| limitations | Little can be reported on the third aim of the field - the effect of structure on system behaviour - because that work is only beginning. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: any structure-to-behaviour claim: STUDIES OF THE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURE ON SYSTEM BEHAVIOR ... ARE STILL IN THEIR INFANCY | limitations[3] | the tagger's words | |
| limitations | The review closes by stating that the whole subject it surveys is at an early stage. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the settledness of everything the review surveys: THE STUDY OF COMPLEX NETWORKS IS STILL IN ITS INFANCY | limitations[4] | the tagger's words | |
| limitations | The name in general use is stated to overreach: only the degree distribution is scale-free, while other properties of the same networks do have scales. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the term scale-free network as a description of the whole network: the review states only the degree distribution is scale-free and other properties usually do have scales | limitations[5] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| limitations | Two different exponents for the same citation network were published by the same author: 2.5 to 3, then 3.04. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: a published power-law exponent for a citation network: this review records the same author revising his own value in a later paper | limitations[6] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |

The sentence is in the paper at the link above. about this quote: THE TERM IS NOT IN THE QUOTE - the quote's 'C' is the clustering coefficient, which the paper defines two paragraphs earlier ('defining a clustering coefficient C thus').

| senses | scale-free network - the term in general use, which the review says applies only to the degree distribution and not to the network's other properties Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[0] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | network - the stipulated vocabulary of the review: a set of items called vertices, with connections between them called edges Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[1] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `connectivity` - A NAME THIS REVIEW REFUSES, AND IT SAYS WHY: `Quotation withheld` A refusal grounded in COLLISION WITH A NEIGHBOURING FIELD rather than in the term being wrong - the new usage is intelligible and is declined because the word is already taken. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[2] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `network density` - THE SAME WORDS NAMING A DIFFERENT QUANTITY BY FIELD: in sociology it names the LOCAL clustering coefficient Ci of a single vertex, which is what this passage records. Elsewhere `density` names the global edge count over possible edges. A reader who imports the sociological sense into the physics literature is reading a per-vertex quantity as a whole-graph one. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[3] | 0.9 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `assortative mixing` / `homophily` / `assortative matching` - ONE PHENOMENON, THREE NAMES, AND THE REVIEW ATTRIBUTES EACH TO ITS FIELD: `called assortative mixing or homophily` in social networks and epidemiology, while `the term ASSORTATIVE MATCHING is also seen in THE ECOLOGY LITERATURE, particularly in reference to mate choice among animals`. The ecological name carries a narrower referent - mate choice - inside the same concept. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[4] | 1.0 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `clustering coefficient` / `fraction of transitive triples` - ONE QUANTITY, TWO FIELD-LOCAL NAMES, and the review is explicit that the DEFINITION is the same one: `The definition of C given here has been widely used in the sociology literature, where it is referred to as the “fraction of transitive triples”.` FILED AS A SENSE AND NOT AS A `renamed-across-fields` EDGE ON PURPOSE: the gate requires a renaming clause to contain BOTH names, and this one calls the physics-side quantity `C` rather than `clustering coefficient`. The only span naming both runs back through Eq. (3). A CLAUSE NAMING ONE NAME IS A DEFINITION, NOT A RENAMING - the gate is right, and the reading survives at the sense layer where it is grounded in what the sentence actually says. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[5] | 0.95 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `Vertex` / `site` / `node` / `actor` - ONE OBJECT, FOUR NAMES, AND THE PAPER PRINTS THE DISCIPLINE BESIDE EACH. `The fundamental unit of a network, also called a site (physics), a node (computer science), or an actor (sociology).` This is the corpus's cleanest instance of renaming-across-fields: not reconstructed from two papers that never cite each other, but asserted in a glossary by an author who works in all three literatures. The same sentence does it AGAIN for `Edge` / `bond` / `link` / `tie`, with the same three fields in the same order. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[6] | 0.95 | the tagger's words |
| senses | `clustering` - A NAME THAT COLLIDES INSIDE ITS OWN FIELD, AND THE PAPER SAYS SO WHILE USING IT. `Quotation withheld` The other meaning is community detection. The alias is not across fields - it is a collision WITHIN one, and the author records the ambiguity rather than resolving it. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. | senses[7] | 0.9 | the tagger's words |
| claim_relations | qualifies → Barabási and Albert, preferential attachment Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. differs in: WHICH NAME THE MODEL TRAVELS UNDER, AND THE REVIEW SAYS THE EARLIER ONE DID NOT: 'The work of PRICE himself, however, is LARGELY UNKNOWN in the scientific community, and CUMULATIVE ADVANTAGE did not achieve currency as a model of network growth until its REDISCOVERY some decades later by Barabási and Albert, Quotation withheld.' One mechanism, two names, and the currency followed the second - so a search on either name finds only half the literature | claim_relations[0] | 0.95 | the tagger's words |
| claim_relations | contradicts → the preferential-attachment model as a model of the Web Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. differs in: WHETHER THE MODEL'S OWN PREDICTION APPEARS IN THE DATA IT IS APPLIED TO. The model implies older vertices have higher degree; 'This correlation between degree and age has been used by Adamic and Huberman to argue against the model as a model of the World Wide Web - Quotation withheld.' The refutation is of the model AS APPLIED TO THE WEB, not of the mechanism in general | claim_relations[1] | 0.9 | the tagger's words |
| claim_relations | reinterprets → Milgram's small-world experiment Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. differs in: WHAT THE SAME EXPERIMENT IS EVIDENCE FOR. 'there is another conclusion that can be drawn from this experiment which Milgram apparently failed to notice; it was pointed out in 2000 by Kleinberg' - roughly three decades later. The finding was in the data the whole time and needed a different question asked of it, which is the strongest kind of case for a layer that records what a result was taken to show | claim_relations[2] | 0.9 | the tagger's words |
