- Science of Science tool (Sci2) - A desktop application for information analysis and visualization.
- An image viewer capable of interpreting the PostScript visualizations generated by the tool.
- Windows users may find that they have a commercial PostScript viewer from the Adobe Acrobat family already installed. Alternatively they may install the free interpreter Ghostscript and the free viewer GSview (both are required in this case).
- Other possible alternatives to investigate (thinking out loud, edit this away later):
- http://www.rampantlogic.com/psview/index.html A bundling of Ghostscript 8.61 as a single executable that forwards the generated PDF to the OS's default PDF reader. Reviewed pretty well on cnet.
- http://kb.iu.edu/data/afbn.html?cust=1244 mentions something called RoPS; its website isn't loading right now.
- Other possible alternatives to investigate (thinking out loud, edit this away later):
- Mac OS X users can use the built-in Preview application and should not need a 3rd party reader.
- Linux users will likely find that their distribution comes pre-installed with Ghostscript and may use one of its included scripts (see ps2pdf).
- Windows users may find that they have a commercial PostScript viewer from the Adobe Acrobat family already installed. Alternatively they may install the free interpreter Ghostscript and the free viewer GSview (both are required in this case).
