April 18th 2017

2. Overview
Dataset: Visualization Publication Data Collection - IEEE Visualization (IEEE VIS) publications from
Number of publications: 2752
Information: Year, Type, Title, Author, Keywords, Abstract, References, etc.
Objective:
Identify the impacts and citation relations of publications.
Identify the impacts and collaborations of authors and research communities.
Identify the development and evolution of research topics/areas.
Keywords
Title & Abstract

5. Existing Visualization 3
Circular graph with edge bundles for citation relationship
Exploration tool with various views
Ranking Network
Ranking table
Temporal patterns of co-authorship

6. Proposed Work
Identify the development and evolution of research topics/areas from
Generate a series of map projections (2D scatter plot) by placing studies (aka. publications or articles) based on their features derived from i.e. keywords, title, abstract.
Techniques: Python for feature extraction, t-SNE for dimensionality reduction, and D3.js for visualization.

7. Proposed Work cont.
Identify the development and evolution of research topics/areas from
Resize the publications based on the time of “being cited” to reflect their impacts.
Summarize or group publications into clusters (cluster topic = most frequent keywords).
If time permits, we would also try with network visualization (besides the map/scatter-plot).
