ReviewerNet: Visualizing Citation and Authorship Relations for Finding Reviewers

Digital Libraries 2019-03-20 v1 Graphics

Abstract

We propose ReviewerNet, an online, interactive visualization system aimed to improve the reviewer selection process in the academic domain. Given a paper submitted for publication, we assume that good candidate reviewers can be chosen among the authors of a small set of relevant and pertinent papers; ReviewerNet supports the construction of such set of papers, by visualizing and exploring a literature citation network. Then, the system helps to select reviewers that are both well distributed in the scientific community and that do not have any conflict-of-interest, by visualising the careers and co-authorship relations of candidate reviewers. The system is publicly available, and it has been evaluated by a set of experienced researchers in the field of Computer Graphics.
