Fast Moving Fronts> September 2010
September 2010
From the database of Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate, this list of Fast Moving Fronts has been generated by a comparison of the data sets for the current period of May 2004-April 30, 2010, and the previous period of March 2004-February 28, 2010 (sliding 6-year period).
As part of this bimonthly processing, Special Topics identifies the Research Fronts that are growing most rapidly in each of the 22 major fields covered by Essential Science Indicators. Fast Moving Fronts are those having the largest percentage increase in number of core papers from one period to the next in their respective fields. Some fronts may have been mapped. This symbol indicates that the author(s) of the comments below have also sent along accompanying images/descriptions of their work.
