    S •Diameter - the largest geodesic distance in the (connected) network •Density - the proportion of all possible ties that are actually present •Reciprocity - the likelihood of edges in a directed network to be mutually linked •Modularity - the strength of division of a network into clusters •Degree Centrality – risk of node catching whatever is flowing through a network •Closeness Centrality – average length of the shortest path between the node and all other nodes in the graph •Betweenness Centrality - quantifies the number of times a node acts as a bridge along the shortest path between two other nodes •Eigenvector Centrality - a measure of the influence of a node in a network •
