The Map of Science includes hundreds of millions of scholarly publications from around the world, algorithmically organized into over 85,000 research clusters. These clusters are groups of papers that cite each other a lot — typically because they share other things in common, such as subject matter, language of publication, or other important characteristics. By filtering clusters according to growth, key topics, countries, and other characteristics, users can quickly pinpoint scientific trends and communities. The Map of Science — originally launched in October 2021 and updated in December 2023 — is maintained by CSET’s Emerging Technology Observatory and is free to all.
