MAP OF SCIENCE DERIVED FROM CLICKSTREAM DATA – Bollen et al. (2009). Circles represent individual journals. The lines that connect journals are the edges <strong>of</strong> the clickstream model in M' (see the article for an explanation). Colors correspond to the AAT classification <strong>of</strong> the journal. Labels have been assigned to local clusters <strong>of</strong> journals that correspond to particular scientific disciplines. See also Boustead (2009). Book Smarts. 2009.

Many writers from a variety <strong>of</strong> fields—notably business and politics—are writing books that promote ideas for educational reform. Given that the future and well-being <strong>of</strong> hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> children are affected by reform initiatives, Book Smarts intends to help readers cut through the clutter and sort out sound proposals from a contemporary proliferation <strong>of</strong> unsubstantiated claims about educational policy and reform. 44
Boustead, G. 2009. “A new picture <strong>of</strong> science -and possibly future innovation-comes into focus with the mapping <strong>of</strong> scientists’ online research behavior, SeedMagazine, 21 March; online at : “Picture this: the whole <strong>of</strong> human knowledge as a figurative mind that can selectively focus on certain areas. It’s a pr<strong>of</strong>ound notion, and visualizing such a construct is an enormous undertaking. But with last week’s release <strong>of</strong> a new “map <strong>of</strong> science,” a team <strong>of</strong> researchers led by Johan Bollen . . . .[Bollen et al. (2009)]. . . is attempting to do just that - with a high-resolution visualization <strong>of</strong> how scientific literature is accessed based on users’ downloading and browsing behavior, known as clickstream data. This usage data was collected, aggregated, and normalized across a wide variety <strong>of</strong> journal publishers and institutions. The result is a network map with color-coded nodes (clusters <strong>of</strong> research articles from different fields) and interconnected lines (shaped by users’ clickstreams), demonstrating the connections among a comprehensive sample space <strong>of</strong> scholarly research.” Britannica <strong>Blogs</strong>. 2009.
