"RefViz can deliver a fresh perspective on the structure and content of scientific literature."
-Brian Simboli and Min Zhang, Science, February 6, 2004

"I approached RefViz with a certain degree of scepticism, never having been convinced of the value of visualization, but I have been won over."
-Tom Wilson, Information Research, September/October 2003

"RefViz is an amazing program. Just imaging being able to visually explore literature references. RefViz analyzes large numbers of references by thematic content and then presents an at-a-glance overview of the main topics discussed in the reference set. When I first saw what RefViz can do, I was amazed, and also very impressed with the power hidden beneath the program's very user-friendly interface."
-Dale Farris, Golden Triangle PC Club Wire, October 8, 2003

"The launch of RefViz by Thomson's ISI ResearchSoft confirms a trend towards visualization techniques in reporting search results."

"The problem with search results-even to good, scientifically-constructed, precisely formulated keyword questions-is that the answers are often too great to comprehend.[...] And if you are searching for quite precise purposes-in order to create a bibliography for a research paper for example-then the time spent sorting through results is out of all proportion to the time spent finding them in the first place."

"The Thomson announcement...directly addresses the workflow problems of the academic community, faced with issues surrounding the compilation of bibliographies, reading lists, grant proposals etc., and at $300 it is priced like an individual user product, not a major system installation."
