Összefoglaló	Directed closeness centrality extends the classical closeness measure to directed networks by separately quantifying how quickly a node can be reached by others (in-closeness) and how quickly it can reach all others (out-closeness). It is a foundational node-level metric in social network analysis and graph theory, used wherever link direction conveys meaningful asymmetry such as citation flows, information cascades, or authority hierarchies.	Directed Social Network Analysis (directed SNA) studies networks in which every tie has an explicit direction — from a sender to a receiver — rather than treating relationships as symmetric. It extends the classical SNA toolkit with in-degree, out-degree, reciprocity, and asymmetric path measures, making it the appropriate framework wherever relationship direction carries substantive meaning, such as citation flows, advice-seeking, follower graphs, or information cascades.
