Community detection is an important methodology for understanding the intrinsic structure and function of a realworld network. In this paper, we propose an effective and efficient algorithm, called Dominant Label Propagation Algorithm（Abbreviated as DLPA）, to detect communities in complex networks. The algorithm simulates a special voting process to detect overlapping and non-overlapping community structure in complex networks simultaneously. Our algorithm is very efficient, since its computational complexity is almost linear to the number of edges in the network. Experimental results on both real-world and synthetic networks show that our algorithm also possesses high accuracies on detecting community structure in networks.
