Scholarly Communication Guide: Visualising Impact

This guide provides information on the support services available at the library to help with all stages of your research, from planning your research, to measuring the impact of your research.

Introduction

There are many ways to visualize the impact of one's research. From simple graphs of number of times cited to some of the graphical presentations. Databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar automatically generate simple graphs that chart citations. Using these graphs can be a quick way to visualize your research impact, but they are often limited to displaying one researcher at a time. There are several online tools to make more sophisticated data visualizations, including citation network analyses. One free and comprehensive tool is VOS viewer.
