Abstract:Statistically, top scholars tend to accumulate a large number of publications during their tenure. While the patterns illustrating their scientific impact are monotonous and it is difficult to get a concrete comprehension to the academic development of the scholars ?output. So we address the issue of graphically presenting and comparing the impact of individual scholars ?publications. Besides, with the development of Web 2.0, more information about the social impact of a scholar’s work is becoming increasingly available and relevant. Thus comes the challenge of how to quickly compare among a scholar’s entire collection of publications, and pinpoint those with higher social popularity as well as academic influence. To this end, we propose a graphical article-level metric, namely Scholarly Output Graph (SOG). SOG captures three dimensions including journal impact factor (JIF), scientific impact and social popularity, and reflects not only the quality of the publications but also the immediate responses from social networks. With the visual cues of block length, width and color, users can intuitively locate articles of higher scientific impact, JIF and social popularity. Additionally, SOG proves to be widely applicable, practical and flexible as a navigation tool for filtering publications. To demonstrate the usability of SOG, we design a literature navigation homepage with a list of 50 researchers in computer science with their individual scholarly output graphs and the results can be found at http://impact.linkscholar.org/SOGExample.html. © Springer International Publishing AG 2016.
