"Anyone who tries to follow the exponential growth of the
literature on citation analysis and scientometrics knows how
difficult it is to keep pace. Chaomei Chen has identified the
significant methods and applications in visual graphics and made
them clear to the uninitiated. Derek Price would have loved this
book which not only pays homage to him but also to the key players
in information science and a wide variety of others in the
sociology and history of science." - Eugene Garfield "This is a
wide ranging book on information visualization, with a specific
focus on science mapping. Science mapping is still in its infancy
and many intellectual challenges remain to be investigated and many
of which are outlined in the final chapter. In this new edition
Chaomei Chen has provided an essential text, useful both as a
primer for new entrants and as a comprehensive overview of recent
developments for the seasoned practitioner." - Henry Small Chaomei
Chen is a Professor in the College of Information Science and
Technology at Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA, and a
ChangJiang Scholar at Dalian University of Technology, Dalian,
China. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Information Visualization and
the author of Turning Points: The Nature of Creativity (Springer,
2012) and Information Visualization: Beyond the Horizon (Springer,
2004, 2006).
