====== Bibviz for Bibliography Visualisation ======
 
Bibviz is an automatic tool that enables to visualise co-authorship relations in a bibliography file. Starting from a bibliography file in BibTex format, the tool transforms it into a graph, where nodes represent authors and links the co-authorship relations.

What you need is simply a clean installation of some python tools:
  * [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/biblio-py/0.5.7 | biblio-py]]
  * [[http://networkx.lanl.gov/ | networkx]]
  * [[http://matplotlib.org | matplotlib]]
  * and my source code available on [[https://github.com/samerlahoud/biblio-viz | GitHub]]!

You can see in Figure 1 a dynamic view of my bibliography file. Node size represents connectivity and link colour represents the number of co-authorships (scaling from light blue to red). Figure 2 represents another sample output processed by [[http://gephi.org/ | Gephi]].
