AuthorMapper is a free online tool for visualizing scientific research. Search results allow you to discover other researchers, institutions and journals in a particular subject area. Graphs, timelines, and other visual aids are also featured. The site searches the Springer Journal collection which numbers around 1900 titles, so while not comprehensive it is an interesting application from the second largest science publisher.
Here's a sample search using the subject "polymer sciences" and the institution "The Scripps Research Institute".
Under search results you have four clickable tabs: articles, authors, institutions and journals. Along the left-hand side a keyword cloud appears (top keyword = structural proteomics) as well as a graph of the years published (top year = 2007), top published authors (most published = Peter Wright) , and journals (top journal = Journal of Biomolecular NMR).
