Abstract
In this paper we present ScienScan - a browsing and visualization tool for academic search. The tool operates in real time by post-processing the query results returned by an academic search engine. ScienScan discovers topics in the search results and summarizes them in the form of a concise hierarchical topic map. The produced topical summary informatively represents the results in a visual way and provides an additional filtering control. We demonstrate the operation of ScienScan deploying it on top of the search API of Microsoft Academic Search. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.File in questo prodotto:
