Abstract

Information about scientific research can be represented on interactive science maps, which can yield insight into scientific activity at different levels of organization: micro, meso and macro. There are many examples at the meso or macro levels, i.e., research fields. But the micro level – individual analysis - is rather rarely considered in academic writing or app design. The authors designed and tested a web application, Scientific Visualizer, to illustrate an individual’s scientific activity, which became a basis for a wide-ranging analysis. The visualizations generated by software will aid researchers in management of their own career, as well as planning effective communication and collaboration. The authors also have discussed their own approach to constructing a disciplinary space of publications based on the current classification of science. They added to scholarship on software and its application in academic community.
