The OP hasn't taken the time to tell us what this is about, and it's far from clear. Here's some text from the linked page: The Shape of Science is an information visualization
project whose aim is to reveal the structure of science.
More details can be found in the paper Graphical interface
of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank: an interactive
approach to accessing bibliometric information.
The paper is here:

A graphical interface designed to access the bibliometric
indicators database of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank
portal ... is described. The map was generated from the
relational matrix based on the citation, co-citation, and
bibliographic coupling formed by the nearly 20,000 publications
(journals and conference proceedings) registered in Scopus.
The map layout is based on a variant of a force-directed
algorithm using Noack’s proposal of an edge-repulsion energy
model. The interface allows the publications’ bibliometric
indicators and the cluster structures that they form to be
displayed based on their shared use by the authors of the
documents. To facilitate navigation, the interface automatically
positions the reference areas and subject categories which are
viewable via zoom-and-pan. The interface may be found to
constitute a useful tool for analyses of the Scopus publications’
presence in different scientific domains, and of the global
distribution of the publishing capacity of different countries
and regions. It uses the method of overlaying maps to locate
subsets of selected publications in the context of the global
publication structure.
