Recommending intra-institutional scientific collaboration through coauthorship network visualization
(2013-10-28)
For improving research productivity, quality and dissemination, we propose the development of a visual recommendation tool summing up scientific collaboration best-practices found in literature. Social Network Analysis are ...
Integrating semi-structured information using semantic technologies: An evaluation of tools and a case study on university rankings data
(SciTePress, 2014-08-31)
