Dear all,
A few weeks ago I asked the Evidence-Based Health discussion list for
advice about presenting the results of evidence searches visually. Thank
you to the people who replied. I have summarised the responses below.
Examples http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplements/
www.gopubmed.com which shows author links and articles published
geographically. The BMJ (and probably others) use a 2D 'Citation Map'
function on their journal website- see

Books/articles Cleveland, WS Visualizing Data
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=529269 Garfield, E. Identifying core
literature through citation analysis and visualisation.

Theories Social network analysis mapping - influence of different sources
and people in generating and spreading/referring research findings.
Software 2D bibliometric software 'RefViz' http://www.refviz.com/ - no
longer available. More complicated version called OmniViz
http://www.biowisdom.com/tag/omniviz/ ThinkMap - http://www.thinkmap.com -
to see an example - 3D thesaurus at http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ Nvivo
software http://www.qsrinternational.com/ - import the sources into Nvivo
and code the evidence to make relationships between the different sources.
