Hesburgh Libraries

Workshop Overview

Most researchers understand the overwhelming feeling of conducting a thorough literature review. When thousands of scholars have written on a topic, where do you start?

VOSviewer alleviates the pain of conducting a lit review by letting researchers visualize the relationships between their sources. Who cites whom? Whose sources are similar? Who co-authored papers together?

In this workshop, you’ll learn what VOSviewer is, how it works, and how you can use it to identify key thinkers and schools of thought in literature.

Open to all undergrad and graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.
