About the project
This knowledge graph visualization interface is a demo prototype to accompany the journal article:
Cheng, W.-N., & Khoo, C.S.G. (2025). Constructing scholarly knowledge graphs from sociology research papers: Incremental changes in cause-effect statements. Knowledge Organization, 52(7), 44513. https://doi.org/10.31083/KO44513See alternative interface design.
Visualizing the argument structure of a social science research paper
The purpose of the visualization is to explore how the various argument/rhetorical statements in a research paper contributes information towards constructing causal knowledge.
The initial display lists the main argument/rhetorical statements as nodes in presentation order, together with a skeleton Cause-Effect frame.
Double-click on an argument/rhetorical node to display cause-effect terms expressed in the statement. Double-click on additional argument nodes to show what new/additional terms the argument contributes.
Double-click on any term node to link it with concepts in a taxonomy.
Single-click on a node displays text information on the right text panel.
Right-click on a node to lock a node in position; click on a node to unlock its position before dragging it to a new position.
