Abstract
Duke is one of the leading sites for research across the nation, throughout the world
where professionals are defining the way to a better and healthier future. A thorough
understanding of how Duke networks behave is crucial to their efficient operation.
By visualizing data on networks, it is possible to greatly improve our knowledge of
how Duke researchers collaborate and detect patterns that would not be evident in
a database alone. Our focus is on mapping collaboration networks. Clusters of nodes
in the maps show both the research communities that coalesce from different departments
or affiliations and the relationship among those communities. The maps also show the
collaborations that have not been made, which indicate opportunities for future research.
The goal of this visualization was to examine the geographic spread of collaborations
represented in the scholars@duke dataset. The goal of the Scholars@Duke Visualization
Challenge was to create visualizations that capture the richness and dynamism of Duke
research. The datasets were provided by Scholars@Duke (https://schoalrs.duke.edu/)
and they describe publications, authorships, and scholarly collaborations from university
researchers over the past 5 years.
