A public instance of this platform is available at https://pubscan.expressrna.org

pubScan is an interactive interface to explore all PubMed articles as a co-authorship network. In this network nodes represent authors and edges represent co-authored publications.

The author you search for in the input box (top-left) will appear at the center of the network, highlighted in red. Other nodes are colored based on the number of publications for the author in PubMed: < 10 publications, 10-50 publications, 50-100 publications, > 100 publications

To keep the network readable and responsive, pubScan displays:

• up to 150 co-authors (ranked by number of shared publications)
• up to 2,000 edges: this includes all edges between the central author and their co-authors, the 100 strongest co-authorship links, and a random sample of the remaining edges

• 202510: v2, Faster and simpler SQLite backend, mobile friendly
• 202412: v1, Initial interface with a Mysql database

Star it and spread the word :-) Thanks
