Influence Visualization of Scientific Paper through Flow-Based Citation Network Summarization

Yue Su, Sibai Sun, Yuan Xuan, Lei Shi

Abstract: This paper presents VEGAS - an online system that can illustrate the influence of one scientific paper on citation networks via the influence graph summarization and visualization. The system is built over an algorithm pipeline that maximizes the rate of influence flows in the final summarization. Both visualization and interaction designs are described with respect to a real usage scenario of the VEGAS system.
