Twitter Multiplex Network — MLK Day 2013
A Twitter (MLK Day 2013) dataset of 327,707 users, 396,671 multiplex edges (retweets, mentions, replies), collected by D. R. G. and D. M.. Each record contains source, target, weight, layer (1=retweet, 2=mention, 3=reply). Multiplex Twitter network during MLK Day 2013 with three interaction layers. Suitable for multiplex network analysis, event dynamics, information propagation.
