  1. σ = small-wordness; Cp = weighted clustering-coefficient; Lp = weighted characteristic path length; Qm = weighted modularity.
  2. Cohen’s d indicates the value of effect size. The small, medium and large levels of the effect size are 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8, respectively, according to Cohen’s definition.
