• Culture, trust, and social networks (2008, background): “Although ego network betweenness is, in essence, the reverse of ego network density (Marsden, 2002), it is the case that networks with the same number of friends and ties may have different scores of ego network betweenness according to the patterns of connections between friends.”
• Multicasting in delay tolerant networks: a social network perspective (2009, methodology): “For utilization in distributed environments, the localized version of betweenness is proposed by Marsden [14] in the “ego-centric” network for each node, which only includes the contacted neighbors of that node.”
• Performance Impact of Middle Managers' Adaptive Strategy Implementation: the Role of Social Capital (2014, background): “Note that degree-based centrality is in principle identical for egocentric and sociocentric network data (Marsden 2002: 409).”
• The analysis of social networks (2008, methodology): “A betweenness centrality measure for egocentric network data is available (Marsden 2002).”
• Social network analysis for routing in disconnected delay-tolerant MANETs (2007, methodology): “Marsden introduces centrality measures calculated using ego networks and compares these to Freeman’s centrality measures of a sociocentric network [25].”
• Social Network Analysis for Information Flow in Disconnected Delay-Tolerant MANETs (2009, methodology): “Marsden introduces centrality measures calculated using ego networks and compares these to Freeman’s centrality measures of a sociocentric network [37].”
• A Survey on Trust Modeling (2015, background): “Compared to the Marsh [1994] definition of trust in Equation (1), the core trust is a generalized formulation of trust by specifying internal properties (i.”
• A Survey of Social-Based Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks: Positive and Negative Social Effects (2013, background): “In DTNs, the sociological centrality metrics [87] can also be used for relay selections (nodes with high centralities are always good candidates of relay nodes).”
