Documentation: could you, please, clarify? #36

Description

This is a fantastic module in both scope and implementation. The only minor issue I have is with a detail of documentation regarding betweenness:

The POD contains a reference to
Freeman, A set of measures of centrality based on betweenness
and gives as a reference
http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0309045
However, this paper, which does indeed mention Freeman betweenness, is
Newman MEJ. A measure of betweenness centrality based on random walks. 2003.

The Freeman paper can be found under https://www.jstor.org/stable/3033543 (but no freely available full text, AFAICT). Maybe this can be adapted in the POD.

The POD continues to mention
"A Faster Algorithm for Betweenness Centrality"
without stating a link.
Searching for this title on the internet, one gets basically three hits:
Brandes U. A Faster Algorithm for Betweenness Centrality. 2001.
and the slightly longer title
Feng Y, Wang H. A Faster Algorithm for Betweenness Centrality Based on Adjacency Matrices. 2022.
The latter article bears the notice "There are serious technical problems in the calculation of betweenness on the right network, please stop accessing this manuscript." and has been withdrawn. (Whether a corrected version has been produced I do not know.)
There is also
Feng Y, Wang H, Lu H. A Faster Algorithm for Betweenness Centrality Based on Adjacency Matrices (unclear whether this dates from 2015 or 2022)
the publication status of which is somewhat unclear.
So I assume (or hope) the reference really is meant to be to the Brandes paper. Again, maybe this could be clarified in the POD, and a link could be added.
