“Topics” and their characteristics

• A topic is a collection of documents with a common intellectual

interest

• Topics can be large or small, new or old, growing or declining

• Topics are dynamic and can evolve

• New topics can be born

• Many topics are inherently multidisciplinary

• Old topics may be dormant, but still exist

• Researchers have mobility and can contribute to multiple topics

| 35 | 35

How are “Topics” identified

• All Scopus publications are clustered into topics using citation links

• ~35 million publications (1996-present) in ~100,000 topics

Why so many?

• Fine-grained topics define the problem-level structure of science

• Topics really are different from each other

- Researchers confirm this

- Funding data confirm this

• Dynamics are far easier to discern with fine-grained topics than

coarse-grained fields

| 38 | 38

What does a topic look like?

• Amyloid function
