HubMed Collaboration Browser

A tool for browsing the collaboration network between authors in the MEDLINE database.

* powered by TouchGraph *

Enter an authors name (Surname followed by Initials, eg Smith JP) into the box below, then press Go!

This will launch HubMed Collaboration Browser in a new window, containing your search term in the central node, with links to the first 10 search results in the surrounding nodes (switch 'show first' to 'all' to be able to see the rest).

Data is collected from the 10 most recent papers matching your search term.

Double-clicking on one of the surrounding nodes will expand the graph to include authors that have collaborated with that node.

Clicking on the 'H' hint icon above each node will display a hint window containing a link to PubMed's list of publications by that author.

The TouchGraph applet has been tested with Mozilla 1.2, Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 6.2 on Windows 98 and XP, and Mozilla, Chimera, Safari (recommended) and Internet Explorer 5.2 on Mac OS X 10.1.2+.

Requires Java 1.3+, which will be automatically downloaded and installed if necessary. To install JRE 1.4 manually, go here.

Currently not working on Classic Mac OS, due to lack of support for Java 1.3.
