Abstract

Personal bibliographic software helps to organize references. These packages can create bibliography and footnotes in combination with popular word processing programs. They also allow direct searching in some data bases and sharing of bibliographic files among research colleagues. However, as search results become more and more numerous, conventional treatment of reference lists presents some difficulties to scientific information users. Along with other applications designed to visualize search results, RefViz is more a data visualization and analysis software than a bibliographic management package. Nevertheless, its use in combination with other reference managers can give users a powerful tool to explore a large amount of collected references based on their content.
