چکیده
This study is motivated to explore and visualize the dynamic citation impact at the state and country level. We present several information visualization approaches, including cartograms and global citation maps, to understand the citation impact distribution in library and information science (LIS). We find that the citation impact in LIS is highly skewed towards North American and European countries. Through the dynamic analysis, states such as GEORGIA and FLORIDA, countries such as CHINA and SOUTH KOREA are becoming more impactful.
