Visualisation
techniques are essential tools in both neuroinformatics and scientometrics,
serving as bridges between raw data and meaningful insights. In
neuroinformatics, visual representations of brain data—such as 3D brain maps,
connectome diagrams, and functional overlays—enable researchers to explore
neural structures, activity patterns, and inter-regional connectivity. These
techniques support integrating multimodal data, enhance reproducibility, and
facilitate hypothesis generation in neuroscience.
Scientometrics,
the study of measuring and analysing scientific literature, relies heavily on
visualisation to interpret publication trends, citation networks, and research
dynamics. Tools like VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Gephi allow for the creation of
bibliometric maps that reveal influential authors, collaborative networks, and
emerging research themes.
This
article examines the intersection of visualisation in these two domains,
highlighting shared challenges such as data heterogeneity, scalability, and the
need for intuitive interfaces. It also explores how advances in machine
learning and interactive dashboards transform how researchers engage with
complex datasets.
