Early Detection of Research Trends

Being able to rapidly recognise new research trends is strategic for many stakeholders, including universities, institutional funding bodies, academic publishers and companies. The literature presents several approaches to identifying the emergence of new research topics, which rely on the assumption that the topic is already exhibiting a certain degree of popularity and consistently referred to by a community of researchers. However, detecting the emergence of a new research area at an embryonic stage, i.e., before the topic has been consistently labelled by a community of researchers and associated with a number of publications, is still an open challenge.

Annotating D3 dataset with the CSO Classifier

Abstract The DBLP Discovery Dataset (D3) is a newly created dataset of research papers in the field of Computer Science which can support several tasks like identifying trends in research activity, productivity, focus, bias, accessibility, and impact. This dataset stems from DBLP and integrates additional information from the full-texts. We argue that papers classified with […]
