CitNetExplorer

Wed Mar 12 12:35:05 EDT 2014

Dear Obinna,

The easiest way to work with CitNetExplorer is to use data from Web of Science. Based on Web of Science data, CitNetExplorer is able to directly construct a citation network. You don't need to do anything yourself. Of course, when using Web of Science data, only OA journals indexed in Web of Science are included. However, CitNetExplorer is not restricted to Web of Science data. If you want, you can construct a citation network based on any data source you have available and then input this citation network into CitNetExplorer.

Best regards,

Nees Jan van Eck

Dear All,
I would like to know if CitNetExplorer also covers non-ISI indexed OA journals as well. And does it also cover authors from developing countries? Please I need it for my dissertation.

Dear all,

  I know that there have been issues with Java on Mac OS X so I just want to mention that I am not experiencing any problems running CitNetExplorer on Mac OSX (10.9.2) running Java 7 update 51 with Java security level set to High.

Regards,

Jos Winnink

If anyone experiences problems on Mac computers, please send me a message and provide as much information as possible (e.g., text of error message, screenshot, operating system). This would be very helpful for me.

CitNetExplorer is available at www.citnetexplorer.nl<http://www.citnetexplorer.nl>. The website also provides a tutorial that can be used to get started with CitNetExplorer in a quick and easy way.

VOSviewer can be used to visualize term co-occurrence networks and co-citation and bibliographic coupling networks of publications, journals, and authors. CitNetExplorer is specifically aimed at the analysis and visualization of networks of citation relations between individual publications. Together, VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer can be used to visualize all commonly studied types of bibliometric networks.
