Table 4 shows the quasi-closeness centrality and other common centrality indices; higher score means the vertex playing more important roles in the network. Columns Qc, Dc, Sc, Cc, and Bc represent quasi-closeness, degree centrality, strength centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality, respectively. The values in parentheses stand for rankings of the nodes according to the centrality index.
