13 dez 2015 ano - 57. From Spreadsheet to Network Analysis of Art Historical Data, Part III : Visualizing with VOSviewer

Descrição:

In PART III of this series of posts we try out another visualization tool called VOSviewer, comparable to the tool PALLADIO demonstrated in Part II (1).
VOSviewer with subtitle 'Visualizing scientific landscapes' is primarily a software tool for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks, i.e. networks of author co-authorship and journal co-citation, but it can handle other types of network (2).
The tool can be downloaded free of charge but it can also be used directly on the web - like PALLADIO, and only two text files - one map.txt and one network.txt - are needed to start.
However, VOSviewer has more functionalities than PALLADIO, some of particular interest for art historical network data as will be demonstrated and discussed below.
Visualizing a network of 322 artists
We start with the network between 84 Italian CREATORS (labeled in upper case) and their 238 Imitators (labeled in lower case) from all over Europe (3). The dataset is a work in progress.
