CCDFs of parsimonious network metrics across article categories, with insets highlighting relevant chart areas. In all CCDFs, results for EW stand out, with CI being most similar to EW. Both categories differ substantially from LQ and HQ. We find that, on average, deg^- (Fig. 3a), deg⁺ (Fig. 3b), and PR (Fig. 3c) are considerably higher, while r (Fig. 3d) and CC (Fig. 3d) are seemingly lower for EW and CI than for LQ and HQ. Additionally, we attribute the higher k-core numbers (Fig. 3f) to their correlation with degree (Shin et al. 2016)
