PubViz: Lightweight Visual Presentation of Publication Data

Publications play a central role in presenting the outcome of scientific research but are typically presented as textual lists, whereas related work in visualization of publication focuses on exploration – not presentation. To bridge this gap, we conducted a design study of an interactive visual representation of publication data in a BibTeX file. This paper reports our domain and problem characterization as well as our visualization design decisions in light of our user-centered design process including interviews, two user studies with a paper prototype and a d3.js prototype, and practical application at our group’s website.
