This Research Front on NOSOCOMIAL MRSA INFECTION from the field of
Clinical Medicine was
selected for mapping from the list of Emerging Research Fronts for
February 2008
(data from the fifth bimonthly period of 2007). The map is a diagrammatic
representation of the 11 core papers comprising the front. Each circle
represents a highly cited paper whose bibliographic information is displayed
when the user clicks on the circle. The lines between circles represent the
strongest co-citation links for each paper (that is, indicating that the papers
are frequently cited together). Papers close to each other on the map are
generally more highly co-cited. The most recent paper(s) are indicated in pink.
