From: Optimal structure of groups under exposure to fake news
Box-plots of the a in-degrees and b out-degrees of the nodes of the optimized communication networks as a function of H, for 5% and 0% fake news ratios. In both subfigures blue represents 5% fake news ratio, and red denotes the case when there are no fake news. The weighted in-degree values of the agents are much more homogeneous than their weighted out-degree values independently of H or RFN. As a general rule, exposure to fake news calls forth smaller in-degree and out-degree values, in agreement with the decreased communication activity. Exposure to fake news also disperses the out-degree values, marking the diversification of agents regarding their information-spreading abilities
