Current indexing platforms poorly support the visual exploration and comparative metadata analysis coming from subsequent searches. To address these issues, we designed and realized VisualBib(va), an online visual analytics solution, where a visual environment includes analysis control, bibliography exploration, automatic metadata extraction, and metrics visualization for real-time scenarios. We introduce and discuss here the relevant functions that VisualBib(va) supports through one usage scenarios related to the creation of a bibliography.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing --> Visual analytics; Information systems --> Search interfacesHuman centered computingVisual analyticsInformation systemsSearch interfaces10.2312/evp.20221131103-1053 pages
