In directed networks, degree centrality is split into two distinct metrics based on edge direction. In-degree counts the number of edges flowing into a node, while out-degree counts the number of edges flowing out of the node.
Conditions: Applies to directed networks where edges have a specific direction.

Degree centrality is a metric used to judge the importance of individual nodes within a network. It operates on the premise that a node with many connections is inherently more important, and it is defined simply as the total number of edges connected to a specific node.
Conditions: Applies to undirected networks.; Assumes familiarity with core concepts of network biology.
