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, Special Topics identifies the Research Fronts
that are appearing for the first time in each of the 22 major fields
covered by Essential Science Indicators.
A new Front consists of core papers not previously included in any prior Front. We list here the most prominent of this new crop for each of the 22 fields as determined by the number of core papers they contain and the citations received. Research Front Maps may be selected from the current Research Front set that are relevant to the core papers of the chosen field. View them at the site-wide listing of all Research Front Maps (sorted by field).
For details on the core papers and other statistical characteristics of each Front, see the Research Fronts section of the Essential Science Indicators from Clarivate. Some papers have comments sent in by the author(s) of the paper which may include images and descriptions of their work.
