Data visualizations can be an effective way to tell your research impact story and add value to a wide variety of reports. Whether it’s to illustrate author collaborations, analyze article citation patterns, or explore research trends through text mining, this class will introduce you to techniques for creating your own visualizations with VOSviewer. Participants are encouraged to follow along with the in-class exercises.
A basic knowledge of research metrics prior to the class is helpful, but not required. Students, faculty, and staff are all welcome to attend.
Upon completing this class, you should be able to:
- Explain what VOSviewer is and describe the data sources it uses.
- Describe the different network maps used in bibliometric data visualizations.
- Create co-authorship, citation, and co-term occurrence visualizations.
- Decide when it is appropriate to visualize research impact and recognize the limitations.
