I’ve been using various tools (Voyant, RAW, VOSviewer, Excel) to visualize trends and relationships in the database of notecards I created while working on my first book. Bring your own research notes, however you maintain them, and let’s see what kinds of visualizations we can make from them. I’ve been surprised how much I’ve learned about stuff I thought I already knew inside out.

Here are some of the revealing visualizations I’ve come up with from my notes:

VOS network - Speech Clarity Literal Command General

Correlation between five topics 5 with names

Clarity etc Bump chart 2.fw

Risala frequency graph 2

Risala word cloud wordle

VOS density - Speech Clarity Literal Command General 2

Clarity etc. Voronoi Tressellation.fw

VOS network - People to pupils people terms

Citations of al-Shafii on five topics with labels
