Explore with graphics the Astrophysics Data System PaperScope is a tool for graphically exploring the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) which is a database of published astrophysics papers 9http://adsabs.harvard.edu/). PaperScope is extremely useful for identifying the citation/reference relationships between papers, and enables the user to visualize these relationships to make locating papers of interest easier. Use PaperScope for constructing reference or citation chains, as well as identifying common references/citations between several key papers.PaperScope also aims to bridge the gap between the world of published papers and the Virtual Observatory. Work is in progress on tools that will enable a user to go from looking at a paper on PaperScope to actually loading and finding any published data or tools associated with that paper on the VO. The first tools that will make this possible are expected to be ready by October 2007, and will be added into PaperScope with any bug fixes or other improvements soon after.PaperScope provides tools that enable the user to search the ADS for a paper and then map that paper into a 2D graph of nodes and edges where each node represents a paper, and each edge represents a relationship between two papers. The initial graph contains a node for the paper selected as well as nodes for all of the papers that it references and papers that cite it (referred to as "citations" or "citation papers" in this documentation). From here the user is able to expand the graph by selecting a paper and expanding its citations/references, which are then compared to the papers already on the graph. Any new papers are added as nodes, and any papers in common between the two selected papers are given a new edge to show the relationship. By expanding the graph the user can quickly identify papers that share common references or citations, and thereby identify key papers in a particular field. Tools are provided for searching the graph and highlighting/hiding nodes based on keywords, title, authors, publication date, journal, and citation count. The nodes of the graph can be moved around to improve the look and feel of the graph, and this layout can then be saved. There is also a tool for adding comments about a paper to the nodes on the graph. This way the user can make notes about a paper for their own use, or for use by others. Once the user had built a graph they can save it to a file which can be shared with others and used in the future. A tool is also provided for updating the graph by querying the ADS to see if any new citations have been added to the "focus" papers on the graph. PaperScope makes the task of creating reference or citation chains extremely easy. PaperScope also provides an intuitive and simple visual approach to searching for papers on the ADS. Requirements: · Java What's New in This Release: · PaperScope 1.3 has a number of important features added and some minor bug fixes. The most important include added ADS Advanced and Journal Search capabilities, modified GUI for more simplicity, and fixes for minor bugs in graph functions.
