SciTrend

The program contains two parts. The PubSearch folder has the Perl code that allows for searching and extracting paper information. The SciTrend_Plot has a Matlab code that processes and visualizes the data from the search. 


How to run:

1) Run pubSearch.pl, which will output a JSON file. Place JSON file in SciTrend_Plot directory. Read the pubSearch.pl Readme to see how keyword is selected. 

2) Run SciTrend_Plot.m using Matlab(at least version 2012a). Be sure to have all of the necessary Matlab plugins that are described in the SciTrend_Plot.m file. The code requires the following Matlab Libraries

JSONLAB(http://iso2mesh.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?jsonlab)
Plotly (https://plot.ly)
Treemap (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/17192-treemap)

The SciTrend_Plot.m will output all of the plots and also plot the files to the respective plot.ly account.
