LIS-Bibliometrics Conference day 2
Workshop
Open Knowledge Maps is the world’s largest visual search engine for research. On its website, users can create knowledge maps of research topics in any discipline based on 260+ million research outputs. Knowledge maps provide an immediate overview of a topic by showing important sub-areas at a glance and linking them to relevant resources and concepts. As such, Open Knowledge Maps enables a diverse set of users to explore, discover, and make use of scientific content.
Head Start, the open source software behind Open Knowledge Maps, has deep roots in bibliometric and altmetrics research. In this session, Dr. Kraker will present Open Knowledge Maps and its journey from a prototype based on co-readership data to the large-scale system based on co-word occurrence that it is today. He will also highlight where metrics still play an important role in the software and discuss our future plans in this direction. In this discussion, he will address the importance of responsible metrics in visualizations and the opportunities afforded by the increased availability of open metrics data.
