Two decades ago three pioneering papers turned the atten- tion to complex networks and initiated a new era of research, establishing an interdisciplinary field called network science. Namely, these highly- cited seminal papers were written by Watts & Strogatz, Barab´ asi & Al- bert and Girvan & Newman on small-world networks, on scale-free net- works and on the community structure of complex networks, respectively. In the past 20 years – due to the multidisciplinary nature of the field – a diverse but not divided network science community has emerged.
