We started the development of VOSviewer while we were working at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Since mid-2009, we are working at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of Leiden University. CWTS is currently supporting the development of VOSviewer.
If you have any questions about VOSviewer, do not hesitate to contact us. We also welcome your feedback on VOSviewer. If you have found a bug in VOSviewer or if you have suggestions for improvements, please let us know.
We are also interested in (co-)supervising BSc, MSc, and PhD theses in which VOSviewer is used. This could be either theses that deal with technical topics in the areas of science mapping, network analysis, and information visualization or theses in which applications of VOSviewer are studied. Feel free to contact us if you have any ideas in this direction.
