Many text searches are meant to identify one particular fact or one particular section of a document. Unfortunately, predominant search paradigms focus mostly on identifying relevant documents and leave the burden of withindocument searching on the user. This research explores term distribution visualizations as a means to more clearly identify both the relevance of documents and the location of specific information within them. We present a set of term distribution visualizations and introduce a Focus+Context model for within-document search and navigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
