A new modularity function Qbg allows detection of hierarchical communities in bipartite networks at multiple scales by exploiting resolution limits.
PATCH model simulations show preferential attachment and homophily increase segregation and degree inequality while triadic closure reduces segregation but amplifies overall inequality, and the model accounts for observed gender disparities in 50 years of physics and CS collaboration networks.
Early brokerage in academic networks produces cumulative advantage in later participation and career impact for physicists, equally for men and women.
