The connections in networks related to actual coding are established among users with similar characteristics.

- Abstract: A common assumption suggests that individuals tend to work with others who
are similar to them. However, studies on team working and ability of the group
to solve complex problems highlight that diversity plays a critical role during
collaboration, allowing for the diffusion of information. In this paper, we
investigate the patterns behind the connections among GitHub users in Open
Source communities. To this end, we use Social Network Analysis and
Self-Organizing Maps as the similarity measure. Analysis of textual artifacts
reveals the roles of those connections. We find that diversity of skills plays
an essential role in the creation of links among users who exchange information
(e.g., in issues, comments, and following networks). The connections in
networks related to actual coding are established among users with similar
characteristics. Users who differ from the owner of the repository report bugs,
problems and ask for help more often than the similar ones.

Higher-Order Network Centralities [38.72139150402261]
Community smells are negative patterns in software development teams' interactions that impede their ability to create software.
Current approaches aim to detect community smells by analysing static network representations of software teams' interaction structures.
We show that higher-order network models provide a robust means of revealing such hidden patterns and complex relationships.
