Arenas Email Communication Network
A University Rovira i Virgili (email communication network) dataset of 1,133 nodes and 5,451 edges, collected by R. Guimerà et al.. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: False, signed: False. Email communication network of a university — classic benchmark for community detection algorithms.. Suitable for community detection, email network analysis, graph algorithm benchmarking.
