NOTE

The Difference Scales of Community Network Detection (Micro, Meso, and Macroscale)

Community detection involves analyzing mesoscale structures which are neither micro scale nor macro scale. Communities are a specific type of mesoscale structure characterized by dense internal connections and sparse external connections. Other mesoscale structures include core periphery structures and role structures. While core periphery structures also have dense connections, they are connected to other things in a non-sparse manner. Role structures focus on identifying similarity in interaction patterns rather than literal density. Community structure is the most studied type of mesoscale structure, but advancements have been made in other types as well.
