Extended Data Fig. 2: University network centrality as a function of prestige.
From: Quantifying hierarchy and dynamics in US faculty hiring and retention

Lines are coloured by domain, and show the mean geodesic distance through links in the faculty hiring network from the university at that prestige rank to every other university, divided by the diameter of the network. Smaller values toward the left side indicate that more prestigious universities are more centrally located in each faculty hiring network; less prestigious universities are more peripherally positioned. All universities belong to the network’s strongly connected component by construction (Methods)
