Citation Mapping. This new feature from Thomson/Reutors/ISI Web of Knowledge is gob-stopping cool!

Their press: "Citation Mapping • Be the first to see the beta version of this powerful new Web of Science® visualization tool. Visualize citation relationships and understand the meaning of a cited reference search. Map citations by author, institution, country, subject, and more! "

Use any ordinary ISI search. Arrive at an article you want to map; then choose Citation Map

Choose (forward, backward, or both).

Choose 1 or 2 generations.

Create. (The button is a buried at the bottom right.)

Map options include more than author-to-author displays.

Try this example:

1. appearance - order nodes by - subject category

2. appearance - colour code by - subject category

3. result: a colour coded representation of subject relevant citing and cited articles!

ISI Web of Knowledge (including the Science Citation Index) will have a different interface soon. "In a few months, ISI Web of Knowledge users will see a totally new interface." It's not just another upgrade - and it's definitely more than just a new look." Look at the preview and get more information: http://isiwebofknowledge.com/currentuser_wokhome/cu_new/newface/.
