Bipartite networks composed of dichotomous node sets are ubiquitous in nature and society. Partly for simplicity's sake, many studies have focused on their projection onto their unipartite versions where one only needs to care about a…

Community structure appears to be an intrinsic property of many complex real-world networks. However, recent work shows that real-world networks reveal even more sophisticated modules than classical cohesive (link-density) communities. In…
