Simplified Graph-based Visualization for Scientific Publication
Understanding citations to scientific publications is a task of vital
importance in the academic world. This task can be supported by appropriate
data structures and visualization mechanisms. One challenge is the amount of
existing relationships and the difficulty of determining which of the
references of a document are considered the most potentially relevant to it. In
this paper, we propose a simplified visualization of the relationships between
scientific publications, in the form of a directed acyclic graph. From a given
document, it is possible to visualize a path of references in which each step
corresponds to the main citation of the previous one. A methodology is proposed
in order to build this graph based in the opinion of the authors of scientific
articles and an editorial board
