RefViz:
Explore Research Literature...visually!
Data visualization and analysis
software from the makers of EndNote, ProCite and Reference Manager
See What's New in Version 2!
RefViz is an essential tool designed to help researchers evaluate references
easily, plan future projects and publish their work.
- RefViz provides users with a powerful way to explore reference literature
visually. It analyses large numbers of references by thematic content
and presents an at-a-glance overview of the main topics discussed in
the reference set.
- RefViz allows researchers to cast a wider net when searching the
literature, broaden their understanding of a field, and easily focus
on areas of interest.
- RefViz creates overviews of literature search results from popular
databases such as ISI Web of Science, OCLC and PubMed; or bibliographic
management software - EndNote, ProCite and Reference Manager.
- Used together with EndNote, ProCite or Reference Manager, RefViz
provides an additional level of analysis to existing reference collections
and lets users find the most relevant citations for their papers.
Today's academicians, students and researchers are faced with an overwhelming
amount of information to review. RefViz is text analysis and visualisation
software designed to facilitate the comprehension of literature.
How does it work?
RefViz processes each dataset with an unbiased review of all terms
found in the title and abstract/notes fields. It essentially groups the
literature the same way you would stack papers. Two visualisations are
provided to review the literature: the galaxy and the matrix.
 |
The Galaxy view
RefViz analyses large numbers of references by thematic content
and presents an at-a-glance overview of the main topics discussed
in the reference set. The Galaxy view organises references into groups
according to how they are related conceptually.
The Galaxy view at the right shows the results of searching for
a term throughout the dataset. |
|
The Matrix view
RefViz highlights associations between terms by presenting
a review of which subjects tend to be discussed together in the
literature (terms vs. terms), or an overview of the major concepts
discussed across groups (terms vs. groups).
Red cells at the
intersection of the columns and rows indicate the corresponding
terms are often discussed together in the reference set.
Blue cells indicate few references
contain both terms.
White cells indicate no significant association in either
direction.
