LD Connect: Insights
IOS PRESS INSIGHTS
There's no doubt about the power of visuals – and, of course, they can be eye-catching and engaging, which is a bonus. Data visualization can provide compelling insights and help us see connections within vast quantities of data that we would otherwise not perceive. That is why we have been developing tools to do just that, i.e., visualize the data for human consumption.
Unlocking relationships is the power of linked data, and the visualization tools help provide insights into our journal data (see Note 1). To discover more about this, please explore below. You can also watch the LD Connect presentation from our 2022 anniversary symposium, where you can view how publishing relationships have evolved over the company's 35 years.
