Comprehension of Invisible Specialty in Research Field through Interaction with Novice Researchers

In this paper, we introduce a system which enables to constructs the knowledge structure made from literatures in the domain for each academic journal or academic conference. The system visualizes the distribution of the research fields and trends by the research network structure made from the knowledge structure. We validated the feasibility of the support system by the special experiment sorting task of 30 published papers in two journals in economics. Two comprehension experiments of research fields in economics confirmed the stable efficiency of the system for novices, and the results were superior to experts.
