Abstract

This article discusses visualization software, which is designed to help users get a "picture" of the meaning behind the words. With visualization software, students could see their search results clustered to represent the different aspects of nanotechnology. When confronted with thousands of search results on Google, we rely on its sophisticated ranking algorithms to bring the most important items to the top of the list. Publishers such as the Institute of Physics and platform hosts such as HighWire have already incorporated visualization software to display their search results.
