-Saty Satya-Murti, Journal

"RefViz
can deliver a fresh perspective on the structure and content of scientific
literature."
-Brian Simboli and Min Zhang, Science,
February 6, 2004
"I
approached RefViz with a certain degree of scepticism, never having
been convinced of the value of visualization, but I have been won over."
-Tom Wilson, Information Research, September/October 2003
"RefViz
is an amazing program. Just imaging being able to visually explore
literature references. RefViz analyzes large numbers of references
by thematic content and then presents an at-a-glance overview of the
main topics discussed in the reference set. When I first saw what RefViz
can do, I was amazed, and also very impressed with the power hidden
beneath the program's very user-friendly interface."
-Dale Farris, Golden Triangle PC Club Wire, October 8, 2003
"The
launch of RefViz by Thomson Reuters confirms a trend towards
visualization techniques in reporting search results."
"The
problem with search results-even to good, scientifically-constructed,
precisely formulated keyword questions-is that the answers are often
too great to comprehend.[...] And if you are searching for quite precise purposes-in
order to create a bibliography for a research paper for example-then
the time spent sorting through results is out of all proportion to the time
spent finding them in the first place."
"The Thomson announcement...directly
addresses the workflow problems of the academic community, faced with
issues surrounding the compilation of bibliographies, reading lists,
grant proposals etc., and at $300 it is priced like an individual user
product, not a major system installation."
