作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze the applicability of readership data for knowledge domain visualizations.

• 69.2% of articles in an avg. user library can be attributed to a single subject area.

• We create a visualization of educational technology based on co-readership patterns.

• 80% of the publications included are from within ten years of data collection.

• The characteristics of the readers introduce certain biases to the visualization.
