Sci2 Tool
The Science of Science (Sci2) Tool is a modular toolset specifically designed for the study of science.
It supports the temporal, geospatial, topical, and network analysis and visualization of scholarly datasets at the micro (individual), meso (local), and macro (global) levels.

Dream up ideas and use the data. This is a very circular process. You are looking for interesting data, not that boring data I talked about earlier. So this can time quite a bit of time.
“WHEN”
The time-series is the most frequently used form of graphic design. With one dimension marching along to the regular rhythm of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years…etc.
Are at their best for big datasets with real variability. (not of house of representatives leaving VD pg. 37.
---------------
Enhance the explanatory power by adding spatial dimensions, so that the data are moving over space as well as over time. (VD 40)
Multiple time-series allow for comparison within each series over time (as do time-series plots), but also comparison between the three different sample radio bands…
Stacked graph
Shows trends over time…look for stability or cycles caused by seasons, etc.
Spark lines are intense simple word-sized graphics (glucose, VD 171)
“WHERE” visualizations use location information to identify their position or movement over geographic space.
Geographical location
Color Value
WHAT
The goal is to identify topics in unstructured texts.

“WITH WHOM”
Tree datasets, such as directory structures or organizational hierarchies, classification hierarchies can be displayed using tree views, tree maps or tree graphics.
