Abstract
This article presents a description and case study of CiteSpace II, a Java
application which supports visual exploration with knowledge discovery
in bibliographic databases. Highly cited and pivotal documents, areas
of specialization within a knowledge domain, and emergence of research
topics are visually mapped through a progressive knowledge domain
visualization approach to detecting and visualizing trends and patterns
in scientific literature. The test case in this study is progressive
knowledge domain visualization of the field of medical informatics. Datasets
based on publications from twelve journals in the medical informatics
field covering the time period from 1964–2004 were extracted
from PubMed and Web of Science (WOS) and developed as testbeds
for evaluation of the CiteSpace system. Two resulting document-term
co-citation and MeSH term co-occurrence visualizations are qualitatively
evaluated for identification of pivotal documents, areas of specialization, and
research trends. Practical applications in bio-medical research
settings are discussed.
