How we built it
Used Javascript, Python, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. Alongside with API calls (NASA ADS API) to query information about research papers. and a Javascript Library (Sigma.js) to create the physical graph
Challenges we ran into
Our team had very little experience with Javascript and web development, so the entire project was a combination of learning and applying.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created a visually appealing and function graph that takes a source and creates a linked graph for the user to see. Along with displaying the sources and their amount of citations
What's next for Creddy - Credible Source Collector
Incorporation a larger database of research papers, a more complex spacing algorithm for sorting nodes, and creating for linking options.
