  We study fully synchronized states in scale-free networks of chaotic logistic
maps as a function of both dynamical and topological parameters. Three
different network topologies are considered: (i) random scale-free topology,
(ii) deterministic pseudo-fractal scale-free network, and (iii) Apollonian
network. For the random scale-free topology we find a coupling strength
threshold beyond which full synchronization is attained. This threshold scales
as $k^{-\mu}$, where $k$ is the outgoing connectivity and $\mu$ depends on the
local nonlinearity. For deterministic scale-free networks coherence is observed
only when the coupling strength is proportional to the neighbor connectivity.
We show that the transition to coherence is of first-order and study the role
of the most connected nodes in the collective dynamics of oscillators in
scale-free networks.
