A directed, simple, named, weighted graph with 32 nodes and 440 edges. Nodes are academics and edges illustrate the communication patterns on an Electronic Information Exchange System among them. Node attributes include the number of citations (Citations) and the discipline of the researchers (Discipline). Edge weights illustrate the number of emails sent from one academic to another over the studied time period.
