abstract |
Despite the large number and variety of tools and services available today for exploring
scholarly data, current support is still very limited in the context of sensemaking
tasks, which go beyond standard search and ranking of authors and publications, and
focus instead on i) understanding the dynamics of research areas, ii) relating authors
‘semantically’ (e.g., in terms of common interests or shared academic trajectories),
or iii) performing fine-grained academic expert search along multiple dimensions.
To address this gap we have developed a novel tool, Rexplore, which integrates statistical
analysis, semantic technologies, and visual analytics to provide effective support
for exploring and making sense of scholarly data. Here, we describe the main innovative
elements of the tool and we present the results from a task-centric empirical evaluation,
which shows that Rexplore is highly effective at providing support for the aforementioned
sensemaking tasks. In addition, these results are robust both with respect to the
background of the users (i.e., expert analysts vs. ‘ordinary’ users) and also with
respect to whether the tasks are selected by the evaluators or proposed by the users
themselves. |
