Visualizing Knowledge Domains
• Apply advanced data mining and information visualization
techniques to large amounts of, e.g., publication, patent, and grant
data.
• Visualizations objectively identify major research areas, experts,
institutions, grants, publications, journals, etc. in a research area of
interest, to identify interconnections, the import and export of
research between fields, the dynamics (speed of growth,
diversification) of scientific fields, scientific and social networks, and
the impact of strategic and applied research funding programs
among others.
• Results are not only interesting for funding agencies but also for
companies, researchers, and society.
