Abstract
MotivationThe fast growth of bioinformatics adds a significant difficulty to assess the contribution, geographical and thematic distribution of the research publications.ResultsTo help researchers, grant agencies and general public to assess the progress in bioinformatics, we have developed BIOLITMAP, a web-based geolocation system that allows an easy and sensible exploration of the publications by institution, year and topic.Availability and implementationBIOLITMAP is available at http://socialanalytics.bsc.es/biolitmap and the sources have been deposited at https://github.com/inab/BIOLITMAP.Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
Highlights
It is increasingly important to place value on the scientific contribution of different areas of science and technology

Summary
It is increasingly important to place value on the scientific contribution of different areas of science and technology. With BIOLITMAP, we are providing a global overview of the evolution of the different research lines, institutions and countries in bioinformatics, a new feature that was unavailable until now It provides a visual and interactive way to navigate over the information for users to find scientific publications based on a period of time, journal, topic and institution, order them, as well as visualize the articles, print the search results and see the related statistics. With this tool, we are providing a new baseline to explore and obtain the scientific articles in a manner that was not possible with any other previous tool, opening the possibility for further analysis over it
