This page shows the connectivity of water research in Latin American and Caribbean countries. The citation network below is an estimation of the degree of connectivity which is the probability a specific country (node) is cited by other countries or itself. It is measured by directional citations between an article’s country of study. The direction of the edges and citation proportion can be viewed by hovering over the edges that link one topic to another. The edge thickness represents the weighted degree or connectivity proportion, and the node size represents research volume. Please note that adjusting the connectivity using the drop-down menu rescales the edges, so the smaller edges may look larger in the network for legibility purposes.
To explore the degree of connectivity between countries:
Click the drop-down menu to filter connections by citation volume range.
All connections shows all of the connections.
The strong connections button shows countries that have a maximum degree of connectivity ranging from 31% to 49%.
The medium connections button shows countries that have a medium degree of connectivity ranging from 11% to 30%.
The weak connections button shows countries that have a minimum degree of connectivity of less than 10%.
Hover over the name of the countries (nodes) to view info about the country group, self-citation volume, research volume, and the most- and least-cited countries. Click on the node to highlight all of its edges.
Hover over the edges to show the direction of the citation and their respective citation proportions. Self-citations are depicted as edges that start and end from the same country.
For a better view, zoom in or click and drag the nodes to move them around.
