SSRN – Gregg Gordon:  “If you’ve seen my talks about information overload and discovery then you may recognize the image above. It’s borrowed from the Eigenfactor Mapping Science research done by Carl Bergstrom, Jevin West and Martin Rosvall. We’ve done some work with the Eignenfactor at SSRN and understand the benefits of applying eigenvectors to a large corpus of content and mapping the relationships between those pieces of content. In my talk, I share that one of the solutions to the information overabundance is a good map and a trusted recommendation. There are a lot of maps out there and many more being created every day. Unfortunately, we are beginning to see an overabundance of maps. When I spoke with Jennifer Lin last week about the map in her talk at CrossRef’s 2015 Annual Meeting, I was a little skeptical. She outlined CrossRef’s efforts to collect data and create an “open map” of scholarly communication that would be navigable by both humans and machines. In the related blog post, Jennifer elaborates on the map, providing a better picture of the “infrastructure” that needs to be built and its benefits, including a very valid point about discovery being related to connectedness.”
