This framework assesses polarization in online social networks using user interactions and algorithms, indicating community division.

The analysis found distinct polarized communities among users discussing climate change, suggesting significant division in opinions.
Using the Louvain algorithm and Rao’s Quadratic Entropy, the framework identified influential users in polarizing discussions.
The study revealed that the communication methods significantly affect the polarization levels of both communities and users.
This framework presents a novel method for understanding user interactions and polarization, potentially guiding future research.

Buratti et al. (2025) studied this question.
