CentralityThis term refers to the availability of the document either located in some center of the repository or some other locationThis assists in finding the relevant research articles in the neighborhood of the visualization graph (or network)
ModularityThis term is related to the overall structure of the visualization networkThis information is used to identify and extract the minimum set of the related articles in the network (i.e., clique in a graph)
Co-cited referencesIt represents the situation when two different research items were cited in a single documentIt helps in finding the set of significant research articles along with the recent trends
Co-occurrence keywordsIf two relevant keywords appear simultaneously in a single documentThis information is helpful in identifying the significant and focused keywords
Silhouette valueThis term depicts how much similar a research document is to its cluster neighborsIts value is in [−1, 1] that refers to the degree of associativity of the research articles within a cluster
Mutual information (MI)This refers to the information about the two different clustersIt is computed as the similarity measure of two or more clusters in a network
