ABSTRACT

\n\n

The Mapping Science exhibit aims to introduce science mapping techniques t o the general public and to experts across diverse disciplines for educati onal\, scientific\, and practical purposes. It is meant to inspire crossdi sciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate scholarly activ ity and scientific progress on a global scale.

\n\n

Through maps of science \, we can begin to see all that we know as landscape - viewed as if from a bove or from a great distance. Similar to cartographic or topographic maps \, science maps provide guidance for navigating\, understanding\, and comm unicating the dynamic and changing structure of science and technology. Th e career trajectories of individual researchers and their professional net works\, the intellectual footprint of any given institution or country\, a nd emerging research frontiers or bursts of activity can be projected onto science maps and animated over time. Science maps complement local fact r etrieval via search engines by providing information used to determine con text and relevance. They serve as visual interfaces to immense amounts of data - depicting perhaps millions of objects that we can perceive rapidly to effectively discern apparent outliers\, clusters\, and trends. < /SPAN>
