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 IndicatorsSM
from Thomson
Reuters. The size of a research front is determined by the number of
core papers it contains. This Research Front on BIOMASS PRETREATMENT AND
LOW-COST CELLULOSIC ETHANOL from the field of
Biology & Biochemistry was
selected for mapping from the list of Top Topics for
October 2009 (data
from the third bimonthly period of
2009). The map is a diagrammatic
representation of the 14 core papers comprising the front
in
Biology & Biochemistry. This front was also
selected as a Fast Moving Front in Chemistry for the same
time period.
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.
Annotations may have been added to this map which represent the main research
themes. These appear as labels attached to specific regions on the maps.
