VOSviewer

Visualizing scientific landscapes

This is a software tool for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks such as journals, researchers, or individual publications, and they can be constructed based on citation, bibliographic coupling, co-citation, or co-authorship relations. VOSviewer also offers text mining functionality that can be used to construct and visualize co-occurrence networks of important terms extracted from a body of scientific literature. VOSviewer also offers text mining functionality that can be used to construct and visualize co-occurrence networks of important terms extracted from a body of scientific literature.

VOSviewer can be used to:

  • Visualize bibliometric networks: VOSviewer can be used to visualize bibliometric networks in a variety of ways, such as graphs, maps, and timelines. This makes it easier to understand the relationships between different concepts.

  • Identify key players: VOSviewer can be used to identify key players in a research field by looking at the number of papers they have published, the number of citations they have received, and the number of collaborations they have formed.

  • Identify emerging trends: VOSviewer can be used to identify emerging trends in a research field by looking at the number of papers that have been published on a particular topic in recent years.

  • Analyze the impact of a research paper: VOSviewer can be used to analyze the impact of a research paper by looking at the number of citations it has received and the number of times it has been used in other papers.

VOSviewer is a powerful tool that can be used to visualize and analyze bibliometric networks. It is free and open-source, which makes it accessible to everyone.

Here are some of the features of VOSviewer:

  • Data import: VOSviewer can import data from a variety of sources, such as BibTeX, Endnote, and CSV files. This makes it possible to visualize bibliometric networks from a variety of sources.

  • Network visualization: VOSviewer can visualize bibliometric networks in a variety of ways, such as graphs, maps, and timelines. This makes it easier to understand the relationships between different concepts.

  • Network analysis: VOSviewer can be used to analyze bibliometric networks by looking at the number of papers, authors, and institutions in the network. It can also be used to identify key players and emerging trends.

  • Network export: VOSviewer can export bibliometric networks in a variety of formats, such as PDF, PNG, and SVG files. This makes it possible to share bibliometric networks with others.
