This paper contains an excellent review of the relevant literature of the
past four decades. However, the maps included are difficult to read.
Therefore readers should go to www.atlasofscience.net to see the Atlas of
Spanish Science.

Abstract:
Our objective is the generation of schematic visualizations as interfaces
for scientific domain analysis. We propose a new technique that uses
thematic classification (classes and categories) as entities of cocitation
and units of measure, and demonstrate the viability of this methodology
through the representation and analysis of a domain of great dimensions. The
main features of the maps obtained are discussed, and proposals are made for
future improvements and applications.
