Filters: Match Records with Pubmed

If the topic you are analyzing is medical related, there is a good chance that you can find at least some of the records in PubMed. CiteSpace can build the bridge between a visualized network and corresponding records on PubMed by providing you with direct links to the display of these records on PubMed. On PubMed, you can explore further, for example, similar papers and other information.

The basic steps are as follows:

1. Using bibliographic records (with cited references) to generate a network visualization in CiteSpace

2. Divide the network into clusters and label these clusters as usual

3. Pull down the Filters menu and choose Match records with PubMed, and wait for the process to complete (since CiteSpace is set to comply with NCBI’s protocol, it will tell you in advance how long you need to wait)

4. Right-click on a node or a cluster of your interest, choose List Cluster Members or List Citers to the Cluster
