Key contribution: distinguishing degree heterogeneity (connectivity variation) from graph heterogeneity (structural irregularities beyond degrees) + rigorous evaluation against properties like transfer principles & behavior under network manipulation.

Heterogeneity measures vary widely across research contexts. This paper classifies them into 6 coherent classes & systematically evaluates which properties each measure satisfies, helping researchers choose the right one for their context.
