How to Use CiteSpace
Last updated on 2016-06-20
About the Book
What is a scientific field about? What do we know about its past and present? What are the most active areas of research in the field?
CiteSpace is a freely available computational tool designed to find answers to these questions through interactive visual explorations of patterns and trends conveyed by the body of scientific literature.
This book demonstrates the visual analytic procedure of applying CiteSpace to the study of a potentially wide range of scientific fields.
