A new #scientometric tool based on our work on measuring #Research #Topic #Flow in co-authorship #Networks was released yesterday to the public: https://flowtest.sci-rec.org/
It is still #beta and and a bit #buggy, so please be #kind ;)
With this #webtool, you can analyze the #intertopic flow within computer science or #mathematics. More research areas are to come in the next weeks, e.g., #economics, #biology, #physics, etc. You can have an overview over a whole area or select interesting #topics or #years.
What comes next? Apart from adding more research fields, we will add #higher #resolution topic models and integrate the possibility to search for #individual topic flows, i.e., you can select particular authors and find out who they influenced on what topic.
It is based on our recently published applied #data #science work, appeared in #scientometrics: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-022-04529-w
We derive a topic based #social #network from a #scientific co-authorship graph by attributing #topics to authors, based on the topics of their research work.
