Producing the RF to paper author crossmap.

 

  • On the TFGUI window, select Cooccurrence > make crossmaps > paper-paper author xmap The crossmap will appear as a separate window.
  • Adjust the size of the circles by using the annotate menu on the crossmap figure. Selecting *2 will double the size of the circles, selecting /2 will have the size of the circles.

 

Below shows a crossmap from the mad_cow example. The list below describes the elements of the research front to reference crossmap:

 

  1. Plot area The plot shows a matrix of circles. Given research front (RF) at position i on the y axis, and paper author j on the x position. The circle at position (i,j) on the map is proprotional to the number of papers in RF i that were authored by author j. Large concentrations of circles indicate a group of research fronts associated with a group of paper authors, although there is typically some overlap.
  2. Research front dendrogram The dendrogram and horizontal placement of research fronts is identical to the research fronts in the timeline.
  3. Research front labels Same placement as the reserarch fronts in the timelne.
  4. Coauthorship dendrogram This is the dendrogram from coauthorship clustering. Groups corresponding to research teams can be discerned as separate subtrees of the dendrogram.
  5. Paper author labels Printed as they are given in the WOS file.
  6. crosshairs Clicking in the plot area will cause a horizonal line and vertical line to appear. These crosshairs can be used to find the labels associated with specific circles of interest on the map.
  7. annotate menu This menu contains annotation tools for resizing circles, adjusting plot margins for most readable labels, and for zooming to interesting parts of the crossmap.
  8. webpage menu This control can be used to generate a webpage containing the crossmap.
