Table 1: The table showcases adjusted assortativity coefficients (Karimi and Oliveira, 2022) for key topics across France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. These coefficients measure the tendency of nodes to be connected to nodes with similar degrees within each country’s topic-based network. Notably, variations across countries highlight distinct patterns of intra-network connectivity for each topic.
