ANmap

ANmap is a data visualization tool developed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. It is designed to present information about the National Academies' reports and their connections in a graphical format. The tool aims to provide users with a clear overview of the vast body of work produced by the National Academies and to facilitate discovery of related reports.

The interface of ANmap typically displays reports as nodes, with lines or connections indicating relationships between them. These relationships can be based on various factors, such as shared topics, committees, or citations. Users can often interact with the map by zooming, panning, and clicking on individual nodes to access more detailed information about each report. This includes summaries, publication dates, and links to the full text.

The primary purpose of ANmap is to enhance the accessibility and discoverability of the National Academies' research output. By visualizing complex networks of information, it helps researchers, policymakers, and the public understand the landscape of scientific and technical advice available. The tool is particularly useful for identifying trends, understanding the evolution of topics over time, and finding reports that might otherwise be overlooked. ANmap represents an effort to make the National Academies' extensive knowledge base more navigable and actionable.
