The current contribution information is limited to the field of computer science.
Browse the author cooperation network
The visual Explorer page presents the academic cooperation between authors, which can expand your search scope and let you get more valuable related resources.
On the user interface of coauthoring graph, each node represents an author, and the bigger the node, the more works the author has. Click "Tooltip" to browse the author information. The more co-authors, the closer the relationship between co-authors and authors. Click on the contact between the author and the co-author, and you can see the previous articles they co-authored. For more articles, please click "View More".
The road map of cooperative relationship shows the relationship between two scholars. You can enter different author names in the search boxes on both sides to perform different searches.
Citation chart shows the mutual citation relationship between authors. On the user interface of academic citation graph, each node represents an author. Hover the mouse over any node and click "Tooltip" to get the basic information of the author. The author in the upper left corner of the page is the main author of the current page. As for other authors, the more articles cited by the main author, the closer it is to the main author.
Embedding the paper in your personal homepage.
Microsoft Academic Search allows users to embed the list of papers in other web pages, such as your personal homepage. The specific steps are as follows: Click the button listing the author's details in the upper right corner of the page, then click Generate JavaScript code, copy all the JavaScript codes displayed in the window on the right, and paste them on your personal homepage.
Object's detailed page
When your query completely matches the records of the system, Microsoft Academic Search will automatically jump to the detailed page of the object. This web page provides information such as papers, authors, institutions, conferences, periodicals or keywords.
You only need to click on the title of the paper, the name of the author, the name of the institution, the name of the conference, the name of the journal or keywords on any page of Microsoft Academic Search, and you can get a page listing the detailed information of the corresponding objects.
Our system divides authors into two types. When the avatar shows a question mark, it means that the author information has not been edited by any user. Welcome to edit. The data of another kind of authors have been edited, so users need to be more cautious when updating these authors further.
This is a page with detailed information about the author Wei.
h index
H- index is a method proposed by George Hirsch to evaluate the productivity and influence of researchers. Hirsch's definition of a researcher's H index is that at least H papers published by him have been cited at least H times in a certain period of time.
H index can also be used to measure the productivity and influence of an organization. We calculate the index according to the number of the following papers: (a) papers created by authors currently belonging to the institution; (b) The metadata extracted from the papers shows the papers created by authors who once belonged to the institution. An organization's H index means that its H papers have been cited at least H times in a certain period of time.
G index
G- index is another method to evaluate researchers according to the distribution of cited times. The index was put forward by Leo eger. A researcher's G index means that his most cited G papers are cited G times on average, and G is the maximum possible number.
Domain classification table
Microsoft Academic Search provides ranking tables in many fields. Using this catalogue, you can find influential papers, authors, conferences, periodicals and institutions. Users can also further modify the year and screen out important emerging scholars.
The sorting of objects is based on the following criteria:
Papers and authors are ranked according to the frequency of citation. Conference journals are mainly sorted according to publications and cited frequency. In addition, historical factors will be considered to make the ranking of emerging conferences/journals higher. The organization ranks all papers published by its current and former authors according to citation frequency. For example, paper A was co-authored by author B and author C, and this paper was published in 2000. At that time, author B belonged to organization 1 and author C belonged to organization 2, assuming that this information has been displayed in the full text or metadata. Now author B belongs to institution 3 and author C belongs to institution 4. Our algorithm will establish the following relationship:
Paper A is related to the organization 1, 2, 3, 4.
The ranking is for display only. Ranking is mainly automatically generated by algorithms based on incomplete data of computer science and related disciplines, so it is by no means an indicator of all the achievements of these institutions.
Academic search API
Microsoft academic search provides API. Massive data can help researchers write excellent data analysis tools. Whether ranking academic institutions or designing visual browsers for academic works, API can easily help researchers start these projects.
For more information about API, please refer to the API introduction page.
Check the citation information of the paper
Citation context automatically extracts and lists the comments of other papers on the specified papers, which can help users to know the comments of other authors on the papers conveniently and quickly.
Typical results of quoting content include: code snippet-direct excerpt of quotation-quoted article is displayed in bold; Source-At the bottom right of the code segment, you can see the first author and title of the source paper, and click the title to view the paper. If you want to see more references, just click on "Reference Context".
Publishing trend in the field of visual computer science
The trend of the field is mainly to analyze the research trends of computer science and display them intuitively by using superimposed distribution maps. This feature provides a clear picture of how each area changes with time. You can get a list of the top authors in the selected time period. By default, all 24 sub-fields of computer science will appear in this chart. You can customize the displayed subfields through the filter panel on the right. On the y axis of the chart, you can choose to plot a count chart (original paper count) or a scale chart (the number of sheets in the selected field relative to the total number of sheets in all fields). Along the X-axis, we provide an interface for selecting a time range, so that you can choose a specific time period. You can select the desired subdomain by clicking the corresponding subdomain in the diagram, or you can select it from the subdomain list. The top authors in this sub-field are listed below, and the ranking is mainly based on the citation rate of these authors in the selected time period. Click the More button at the same time to see more authors.
Get more information about the author unit.
Microsoft Academic Search has launched two new functions to provide more information about the author's organization.
Academic Map Academic Map allows you to quickly screen related institutions according to their geographical location and scale. Institutions appear in different colors and points on the map, corresponding to the number of their authors. Clicking an institution will display the details of the author of the institution. You can also filter institutions and authors by specifying fields, and institutions will automatically adjust their display size according to the number of authors in the specified fields.
Institution comparison Now, you can click the Compare button on the institution details page to compare this institution with other institutions. The difference between the two institutions will be as follows: (1) The scatter chart shows the paper trends and citation rate of the two institutions. The middle part of the page shows the difference between keywords representing the research focus and interest of the institution. Only keywords related to one institution are displayed in blue, while keywords related to two institutions are displayed in orange. You can also compare the authors of each organization by looking at the list of newsletter authors.
