A Novel Approach to Visualize Co-Authorship and Co-Contribution of Research

Abstract:

Text visualization method depends on the contents of documents to analyze patterns and abstract characters. However, visualizing the scholar text as an understandable view for users is a challenging. We propose an interactive model to collect, analyse and visualize co-authoring data of publication information. We divide the author to students and advisors. This approach can be used for observe the research performance of students and advisor separately. Especially, we analyse the contribution of each author by presenting the quantity and quality of publications. Meanwhile, the rank of the most important authors is shown in the interface which is designed to access publication details easily. Our conception comes from our experiences designing the Scholar Browser for a university which displays research quality.
