- Description- Today we released version 1.6.6 of our VOSviewer software for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks.
- The most important new feature in this version is the support for working with Crossref data.
- Recently, the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) managed to convince a large number of scientific publishers to make the reference lists of publications in their journals freely available through Crossref.
- Thanks to I4OC, Crossref has become a valuable data source for VOSviewer users.
- In this blog post, we discuss how users of the new version 1.6.6 of VOSviewer can benefit from Crossref data.
