In the edge-repulsion LinLog drawing, the groups of nodes approximately correspond to research areas like three-dimensional graph drawing, orthogonal graph drawing, labeling, graph clustering and clustered/compound graphs, force-directed graph drawing. However, the number of citations is small for many papers, and 2 or 3 citations are not enough information to reliably assign a paper to a research area. (This is a limitation of the input data, not of the clustering method.)
