CIShell Manual : Science Map via Journals
This page last changed on Jan 05, 2011 by jrbibers.
Visualize a collection of journals on the ALGDOC:UCSD Map of Science, a rendering of 13 core disciplines of science (together composed of 554 finer research specialties) and their interrelations. For example, here is a Science Map via Journals generated by examining some publications of Laszlo Barabasi. ? A legend in the lower-left corner shows how circle size relates to the journal totals in each of the 554 disciplines. Note that this number can be and often is fractional because many journals are understood to be multidisciplinary. Nature, for example, is divided with various weights among 80 associated research specialties. This means that for each appearance of Nature in the input collection of journals, the total in each of these specialties is increased by only a small fraction. The visualization also includes a list of the input journals recognized (with journal names normalized to a canonical form where possible) grouped by discipline and displayed along with the number of times that journal appeared in the input table. ? At the end is a list of unrecognized input journals and their frequencies. These journals either have no location on the map or are not written in a form that the mapper can understand. As a visual cue for how many journals are not represented on the map, the total frequency of unrecognized journals is represented as a circle in the upper right corner of the map. Links![]() ![]() |
