Medical Informatics has been described as having a "long and delayed adolescence" which continues to "find itself in search of self-definition", and the AMIA Symposium Proceedings have been viewed as an indicator of trends in the field. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of applying a knowledge domain visualization approach to clarifying the domain of medical informatics based on the AMIA publications. Document co-citation analysis (DCA) is combined with Pathfinder Network Scaling (PFNET), visualization, and animation to develop a 3-D knowledge landscape.
医学信息学被描述为有着“漫长且滞后的青春期”,仍在“寻求自我定义”,而美国医学信息学会(AMIA)研讨会论文集被视为该领域趋势的一个指标。这项初步研究调查了应用知识领域可视化方法,基于AMIA出版物来阐明医学信息学领域的可行性。文献共被引分析(DCA)与探路者网络缩放(PFNET)、可视化及动画相结合,以构建一个三维知识图景。
