When searching for academic or research publications, a user can be presented, not only with a linear listing of publications that may be relevant to the user's search terms, but the user can also be presented with a citation map representing a visual presentation of the interrelationships between a selected publication and the publications which cite to it, and the publications which are cited to by the selected publication. An initial amount of information associated with such a citation map can be provided concurrently with each search result. Additional information can be provided, and presented to the user, through user interaction with the visualization derived from the already provided metadata.
