Springer Launches AuthorMapper

The scientific publisher Springer launched AuthorMapper this past week.

The free tool visualizes research and trends on a Google Map and on a timeline. Per Springer, you can use it to:

- Easily locate reviewers, authors and experts in similar fields
- Run a variety of queries by keyword, discipline, institution, author and more
- Discover the geographic areas where specific topics are being researched
- Identify new and historic literature trends
- Link and connect seamlessly to published content
- Discover wider relationships in the scientific community

Some materials are not available as they are behind a pay wall. You can search only for open articles and embed the results of a query of a website.

Hat tip to reader Duane.
