The resulting dataset was mapped in Gephi, and laid out according to a ForceAtlas 2 algorithm. Each node represents a science blog (either a survey participant's blog or a blog listed by a participant). Communities (represented in color-coded nodes) were detected automatically in Gephi with a resolution of 3.0. Nodes and node labels are sized according to in-degree (how many times the blog was listed by other bloggers as regularly read).</p> <p>Update 12/27/2014: Edited files fix several duplicate nodes (same blogs listed under different names, etc.)</p> <p>Update 12/30/2014: Interactive data graphic available at http://bit.ly/MySciBlogRead.</p>
