RefViz provides an at-a-glance overview and reveals trends and associations in references—now you can retain important references otherwise lost when narrowing a search or skimming a list.
RefViz processes each dataset with an unbiased review of all terms found in the title and abstract/notes fields. It essentially groups the literature the same way you would stack papers. Two visualizations are provided to review the literature: the galaxy and the matrix.
RefViz analyzes large numbers of references by thematic content and presents an at-a-glance overview of the main topics discussed in the reference set. The Galaxy view organizes references into groups according to how they are related conceptually.
The Galaxy view shows the results of searching for a term throughout the dataset.
RefViz highlights associations between terms by presenting a review of which subjects tend to be discussed together in the literature (terms vs. terms), or an overview of the major concepts discussed across groups (terms vs. groups).The Matrix View Red cells at the intersection of the columns and rows indicate the corresponding terms are often discussed together in the reference set. Blue cells indicate few references contain both terms.White cells indicate no significant association in either direction.
