You need to identify key researchers in a field of interest. The question is how can you solve this task if you do not have many years of experience in the considered field yourself? Of course, you can use the citation index, or hire experts in the field and rely on their opinion. But how would you even select the best experts? And how do you ensure that their opinions are truly unbiased and fact-based?
Megaputer offers a solution that can automatically reveal key researchers by analyzing a large collection of journal articles related to the field of interest. The system determines the role and relative importance of each individual author and presents the results in both graphical and tabular formats.
The solution reads the list of authors collaborating on articles and the corresponding citations and then investigates the structure of the resulting network of collaborating authors. It performs advanced calculations based on the Social Network Analysis algorithm revealing the structure of the entire network, its subnetworks, and the role of individual objects and links comprising the network.
