Abstract:
well–formed.eigenfactor presents interactive visualizations to explore emerging patterns in scientific citation networks. The Eigenfactor project calculates a measure of importance for individual journals — the Eigenfactor score — as well as measures of citation flow and a hierarchical clustering based thereon. Moritz Stefaner turns this information into a set of four information — aesthetic visualizations, each highlighting different aspects of the data.
