Correction : Applied Network Science (2023) 8:17 https://doi.org/10.1007/s41109-023-00537-8

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified errors in Table 8. The correct table 8 is given below.

Table 8 The relation of network models and real networks to the examined conjectures concerning fractal characteristics. The check mark ($\checkmark$) denotes that the model/real networks support the statement (for real networks it means that the distribution of the metric is statistically significantly different in fractal and non-fractal networks), the cross mark ($\times$) means that they contradict it, i.e. they behave in the opposite way, the circle ($\bigcirc$) refers to mixed results and when no clear conclusion can be drawn, moreover, the hyphen (–) denotes when the analysis could not be carried out due to the nature of the model. Finally, N denotes the number of nodes and n denotes the number of iterations
