Science Magazine Data Wordle and Cover by Yael Fitzpatrick

In the 11 February 2011 issue, Science provides a broad look at the issues surrounding the increasingly huge influx of research data. This collection of articles highlights both the challenges posed by the data deluge and the opportunities that can be realized if we can better organize and access the data.

 

The Science cover features a word cloud generated from all of the content from the magazine's special section.

A word cloud generated from all of the content from the Dealing with Data special section beginning on p. 692. The size of each word relates to the frequency with which it appears in the combined texts. References and figure legends were included; common words, authors, and affiliations were excluded. All words are lowercase. See an expanded version of this cloud and other features at www.sciencemag.org/special/data/. Credit: Yael Fitzpatrick, using www.wordle.net
