SciCurve transforms the old indexed-search based method of systematic literature review into interactive and comprehensible environment. It allows you to study your subject in great detail, while still having the ability to look at the bigger picture. Explore new scientific trends. Watch the rise of emerging paradigms. Target the most relevant and productive authors in your field and the journals keenest on publishing your type of research.
Powered by PubMed, SciCurve shows you both the freshly emerging trends, and the classical research.
By plotting your paradigm on network graphs, SciCurve allows you to identify thematically similar clusters of publications that connect or overreach number of sub-fields of research.
You will be finally able to observe frequently cited publications within visualized sub-fields with higher density and their mutual relationships.
