    Relational Agency and the New Paradigm for Prosocial Organization, by Francis Heylighen

    Francis Heylighen argues that relational agency provides a new paradigm for understanding how cooperative organization spontaneously emerges from mutually reinforcing interactions without requiring altruism or central control.

    Me! Me! Me! Me! A study and comparison of ego network representations

    Henry Ehlers, Daniel Pahr, Velitchko Filipov et al.

    This paper presents a large-scale user study and literature survey to compare different ego network visualization strategies, including adjacency matrices and various node-link diagrams. The results indicate that participants performed significantly worse and reported a poorer user experience with adjacency matrices compared to node-link diagrams, leading to the conclusion that layered node-link diagrams are the most preferable for ego network visualization.
