INSVis: an Interactive Visual Browser for Searching Co-Author Network

Information visualization is based on the fact that the human visual system has great talent for recognizing information patterns. The web-based open source analysis and visualization is valuable today for the comprehension of social networks. This research proposes an approach to facilitate understanding social network. The paper describes an implementation of the approach called INSVis tool. The Interactive GUI for analytic network and knowledge maps of this visualizer are useful for vaccine researchers to recognize the proficiency of previous researchers without browsing articles. Results from RAZI Vaccine and Serum Research Center indicate that, compared with the benchmark system, knowledge maps supported a faster comprehension of information are acceptable for scientists.
