Visualising the Research 2: Future Lab

In a previous post I looked a group of computing researchers based at the University of Northampton, and their connections graphically. Details can be found at https://computingnorthampton.blogspot.com/2018/08/visualising-research-1-visuallising.html 

In this post, the same ideas are applied to a group of three academics (Dr Scott Turner, Dr Cristina Devecchi and Dr Ali Al-Sherbaz) in the process of forming a new group Future at University Northampton Lab or FUN Lab.Method.
This is the easiest part, in this case, because the data comes from the repository we just need it in a form suited to the tools that follow. 
- Going to each of the Author's lists and removing the duplicates in Reference Manager/.RIS format, produce a single list ready for the next stage.
- apply VosViewer (http://www.vosviewer.com/). Once the software is running, find the create button and then load the .RIS file from the previous stage.
-save map produce as a Pajek network file using the save button on the lefthand menu and select the option.

Results

The graph indicates links between the three leads, and based on previous publication co-authors possible connections to a further 116 other authors. Also the tool indentify potentially 32 sub-groups (clusters) within the data varying, in terms of number of publications in a cluster, from three cluster with only one output to on cluster with eleven outputs.

Based on words in the Title and abstracts of outputs, words that appear in more than three outputs are shown below.

Showing an interesting diversity of terms.
