well--formed.eigenfactor: visualizing information flow in science

Published:03 August 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

well--formed.eigenfactor presents interactive visualizations to explore emerging patterns in scientific citation networks. The Eigenfactor project calculates a measure of importance for individual journals -- the Eigenfactor score -- as well as measures of citation flow and a hierarchical clustering based thereon. Moritz Stefaner turns this information into a set of four information -- aesthetic visualizations, each highlighting different aspects of the data.
