Sep 17, 2020 · Identifying Research Fronts in the Web of Science: From metrics to meaning uses science mapping and data visualization to highlight their value by using familiar examples – CRISPR, 2D Materials, and Machine Learning.
In the following pages, we describe ways to make use of the research fronts searching capability—whether for science policy or information retrieval. Research fronts are subspecialties—complex keywords, if you will—that are identified by co-citation clustering.
Feb 26, 2021 · In general, a research front is understood as the situation where the interests and needs of society coincide with the current scientific results [ 8 ]. The key object of analysis in identifying research fronts is the groups of scientific publications and their interrelationships.

Jul 7, 2022 · Here we examine public use and public funding of science by linking tens of millions of scientific publications from all scientific fields to their upstream funding support and downstream...
Dec 8, 2021 · Research Fronts form when clusters of highly cited papers are frequently cited together. This pattern of “co-citation,” as it’s known, indicates that the papers share a cognitive link or point of commonality, such as a concept or hypothesis, experimental data or method.
A research front is a cluster of highly cited papers over a five-year period --referred to as "core papers"-- in a specialized topic defined by a cluster analysis. Research fronts offer an alternative classification scheme for highly cited papers since the assignment of papers to a research front is not based on the research fields used in ...
