Research Fronts 2019
Clarivate Analytics and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) co-released their annual report Research Fronts 2019 to identify the hottest and emerging specialty areas in scientific research from 2013 to 2018. This is the sixth annual report collaborated between the two organizations and was launched at the joint forum held at Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing on November 26 morning.
Research Fronts 2019
The Research Fronts 2019 report identifies a total of 137 Research Fronts, including 100 hot and 37 emerging specialties spanning 10 broad research areas in sciences and social sciences. Research Fronts are specialties discovered when clusters of highly cited papers are frequently cited together, reflecting a specific commonality in the research, which can be experimental data, a method, a concept or hypothesis.
