From the database of Essential Science Indicators^SM from Clarivate, this list of Fast Moving Fronts has been generated by a comparison of the data sets for the current period of July 2005-June 30, 2011, and the previous period of May 2005-April 30, 2011 (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 author(s) of the comments below have also sent along accompanying images/descriptions of their work.
