Co-occurrence Network
Please note, due to the large volume of data, this visualisation may take up to 60 seconds to load
What am I looking at?
A co-occurrence matrix map created using VOSviewer using words in the title and abstract fields. The size of each node corresponds to the number of publications where the corresponding term appears. The proximity of nodes is proportional to the extent to which terms occur together (co-occur). VOSviewer uses the Leiden algorithm to group terms into clusters based on the link strength between terms.
What can I do?
Scroll to zoom in and out, left click and drag to scan across the map.

VOSviewer settings
Type: Co-occurrence Matrix (map) created based on text data; Fields: Title and abstract ('Ignore structured abstract labels'; 'Ignore copyright statements'); Counting method: Binary counting; Thesaurus used to correct formatting errors; Minimum number of occurrences of a term: 10 (Of the 99735 terms, 2606 met the threshold); Number of terms chosen: 2606 chosen; Visualisation: Weights: 'Total link strength' (not 'total occurrences', or 'links'); Colours: based on Clusters or “Ave. pub. Year”

Patterns
Which terms are most prominent in this map? Click on a node to see other words that are frequently connected to that word.
​
Change the map colours to "Ave. pub. year" (average year of publication) to see how the use of key terms has changed over the decades.​ For example, the lower right quadrant tends toward an average age of 2014, while the upper left quadrant tends toward an average age of 2020. Terms in 2014 tend to be descriptions of the immersive features of a VR experience. The upper and lower left quadrant terms tend toward applied settings for VR, such as intervention, efficacy, outcome, investigation, engagement, treatment, teaching, learning, consumer, and user experience.
The top right quadrant features a range of terminology such as cybersickness, sensory conflict, heart rate, intensity, and other terminology describing the potentially adverse effects of VR.

Use the "Find" tab (accessed using the ">" icon) to search for terms in the map. Select each term to see where it appears in the network map. For example, search for "presence" reveals a host other terms commonly used in conjunction with presence.
