The study by Barber and Scherngell in Chap. 10 illustrates studying the heterogeneity in the spatial configuration of communities in an R&D network. Whereas, the study by De Montis et al. in Chap. 3 illustrates the use of CNA to investigate whether similar geographical contexts give rise to similar global network properties or not.
