HEALTH GeoJunction is a web application that supports scientists and other analysts in the task of quickly finding scientific research publications that are relevant not only to a particular topic, but also to particular places and times. Specifically, a visually-supported, facet-like filtering approach is introduced that enables analysts to apply concept, place, and time filters on queries to PubMed results in an iterative fashion. The approach leverages visualization methods to help analysts develop potentially productive queries along with visual feedback about intermediate query results to support quick drill-down to documents of interest. A key feature of the approach is that analysts do not need to know all relevant query parameters prior to initial query formation.
