[Sigmetrics] CRExplorer

[Bornmann, Lutz]

Dear colleague,

We published a new version of the CRExplorer (www.crexplorer.net<http://www.crexplorer.net>). The CRExplorer uses data from Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) or Scopus (Elsevier) as input. CRExplorer can be applied for three main objectives: (1) the detection of the knowledge basis (i.e. the origins and historical roots) of research topics, (2) the investigation of influential works published more recently, and (3) the disambiguation of cited references data.

CRExplorer version 1.7.5 was released on May 31, 2017. This version includes the following new features and improvements:

  *   Citing Publications: Users can inspect the list of citing publications for selected cited references via "View" - "Citing Publications".
  *   Searching: Users can do keyword searches for cited references (including wildcards such as *).
  *   Indicators: Three indicators are included which show in how many citing years the cited publication (cited reference) belongs to the 50%, 25%, or 10% most cited publications – compared to all other cited publications (cited references) which have been appeared in the same cited year.
  *   CSV output formats: CRExplorer offers different CSV-based output formats (graph data, cited references and/or citing publications)
  *   Copy + Paste: Users can copy selected cited references to clipboard (Ctrl+C) and paste it in other programs (e.g., Excel).
  *   New Chart layout: Beside the standard chart (JFreeChart), CRExplorer now employs a new web-based, interactive chart type (HighCharts). Users can switch between the types in the "File" - "Settings" menu.
  *   User Interface: CRExplorer's GUI is now based on JavaFX.
  *   Handbook: A handbook is available which explains the elements and functions of the program.

Best

Lutz
