Abstract

Visualization of science, or science mapping is a new, interdisciplinary field being undertaken at many Universities in USA since 2000. Maps of science can be considered as information source for researchers, but also for anyone who is interested in scientific progress, history of science and human activity and technology. Mapping science methodology is based on statistical tools, computer science, artificial intelligence algorithms as well as computer graphics. From ten years researchers at Indiana University are gathering the maps of science and publishing them on a dedicated Web service. These maps exhibition Places & Spaces. Mapping Science (which the author is ambassador) was presented at the Conference on “Visualization in computer science”. Current article reports how exhibition was organized, how different groups of recipients percept knowledge map and how survey was prepared. An article also argues that the collection of mapping science at the appropriate organization can ensure the integration of academic society.

Keywords:
