Fernweh Interdisciplinary Research Visualizer: A Data Visualization Tool for Interdisciplinary Research Scoping

Stephen Carradini ; Barbara Carradini

Abstract

The Fernweh Interdisciplinary Research Visualizer is a software tool employing the SCOPUS cross-disciplinary dataset to display the scope of research on interdisciplinary topics across subject areas in a bubble graph format. Researchers can conduct meta-research, discover relevant research across subject areas, and introduce students to the scope of interdisciplinary concepts with this tool. This experience report outlines the process of developing the tool, then demonstrates the results of the tool by visualizing a map of the interdisciplinary research area "social media" across 27 subject areas, 329 classifications, and 42,473 journals.
