    Hi Doctor Lyndon. Could you please explain how to read the visuals specifically or maybe do a whole video? I'd appreciate that!

    Nice one Lyndon, I too have been under a rock and not used this yet, I'm keen to give it a whirl though alongside other tools I use such as Connected Papers, LitMaps, and Research rabbit !

    How do you calculate the total number of authors? The extracted Excel shows at least two authors in a document and the names are repeated in the list.

    Does this tool also take into account year of publication?

    I am loving this tool, but really wishing there was a way to access the particular references from each node or cluster. Have you figured out a way to do this?

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  9 місяців тому

      I'm not 100% sure on that - recently I have been using a different, AI driven network analysis tool called Infranodus. I did a video about it here ua-cam.com/video/ULeORnO0mbQ/v-deo.html

      Good questions. I have been exporting from Endnote to it recently but haven't tried Mendeley.

    hello Prof
    was wondering, can you help in downloading and running the vosviewer on my Mac OS M1. I downloaded the zip file for macOS and also the recommended java file and installed. however the application is always giving a "unable to load java runtime environment " error.

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  4 місяці тому

      Seems to be an issue. Ensure java has been downloaded and installed. A few apple discussion boards have guidance

    Question: Can I import multiple PubMed files into one Field? Thankyou in advance.

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  8 місяців тому

      Do you mean multiple publications? I would export them from pubmed as a single Endnote or bibtex file, then import that into Vos

    Good tutorial, Dr. Walker. How can we capitalize the first letter of the text inside the network? Particularly about countries' names in the case of co-authorship. Example: canada correctly Canada.

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  4 місяці тому

      Good question. It's pulling from the data you feed it, so correcting that should fix any capitalisation issues.

    • @aaronvargas4576
      @aaronvargas4576 4 місяці тому

      In the dataset, I corrected all countries' names, and still, there are no results. Also, I used Notepad+++ but the same situation @@DrLyndonWalker

    What is the parameter applied to creating groups? Thanks for replying

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  Рік тому

      Do you mean how do they measure "distance"? It depends on what you are measuring but I think it's mostly counts (eg. Counts of common keywords). Hopefully the documentation for it has more detail.

    • @antonellocalc

      @@DrLyndonWalker Thanks for replying but I actually mean grouping. As you see, items are grouped in clusters. I had a look to the papers around the net but It's not still clear to me how the algorithm decides what goes in a group and what goes in another one. Distance is measured geometrically.

    Can VOSviewer be used for my own academic analysis?

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  10 місяців тому

      Absolutely. I have exported Endnote libraries and other content to it to get more detail for literature reviews and presentations. Recently I also used it to look for links between different researchers who were funded under the same grant scheme (ie. did the grant scheme lead to more research collaboration in the sector). You might also like the Infranodus tool that does even more neat network analysis stuff. You can view my video on it here ua-cam.com/video/ULeORnO0mbQ/v-deo.html

    Hello Dr. Walker, how can I work with VOSviewer to get a reference collection? Thank you !

    • @DrLyndonWalker
      @DrLyndonWalker  Рік тому

      Vosviewer is more for visualisation. You would normally use a literature database and download the bibliographic information, then import it into vosviewer.
