Essential Science IndicatorsSM from
Thomson Reuters contains data on Research Fronts (see
Research Front
Methodology) which are updated every two months. As part of this
bimonthly processing, ScienceWatch.com selects
the Research Fronts with the largest absolute increase
in size in each of the 22 major
fields covered by
Essential Science Indicators. The size of a research
front is determined by the number of core papers it
contains. In addition, some fronts have been mapped. Research front
maps are diagrammatic representations of the co-citation links among
the highly cited papers that comprise the cluster.
