The STN AnaVist Visualization Workspace

STN AnaVist's visualization workspace lets you easily see relationships by highlighting data during your analysis. STN AnaVist automatically displays:

• Research Landscape (cluster/contour map) - the research fronts represented in your results set
• Key Organizations/Assignees chart - the top organizations doing the research
• Key Researchers by Publication Year matrix - the key scientists doing the research and the years in which the work was done

In addition, you can easily create bar or matrix charts for Clustering Concepts, Document Distribution, Patent Classifications, Patent-Issuing Organizations, Priority Application Years/Dates, Publication Year Trends, and Technology Indicators.

View relationships among data

STN AnaVist offers views of the data from a variety of angles and interactively links the various views.

Heres how it works

You can easily select areas of interest within charts or the Research Landscape. The corresponding documents become highlighted throughout all of the charts (shown in green), and the Documents window populates with the titles of those documents.

---

Researchers by Publication Years

For example, if you select documents for the most published researcher, STN AnaVist immediately identifies the co-researchers

---

Key Organizations/Assignees

as well as the key organizations/assignees associated with the research.

---

The Research Landscape

Areas in which the most published researcher has published are likewise indicated on the Research Landscape. Each dot represents one documentso the denser the peak, the more heavily the concept has been researched.

---

The Document Window

Titles of the corresponding articles and patents automatically display in the Documents window.

Clicking a title displays the detailed record

You can also manipulate and edit the visualization data, tilt the Research Landscape, re-cluster terms, and visualize a specific subset of the original documents.
