Mass Extinctions research (1982-2021)

The attention space moves from the lower left (1981) to the upper right (2010, 2017) at a relatively steady pace. Most of the clusters were built on their youngest predecessors.

A hybrid network of citing terms and cited references.

Term

Frequencies of the term financial crisis, peaked in 2013 and 2018.

Patent Citation Analysis

Patents on electric vehicles and what they cite: terms from a patent's title and abstract (crosses), patents they cite (balls), and publications they cite (red stars).
Inflation and recession. Data Source: Dimensions: Export for bibliometric mapping. Citation bursts: nodes with red rings. Paths: connecting nodes of high degree centrality. Clusters are labeled by title words of citing articles to each cluster.
Visual encodings: Purple rings: high betweenness centrality; Red tree-rings: duration of citation burstness; Thicker links: connections between high-degree nodes.

In CiteSpace, a cluster is labeled based on citing articles responsible for its formation. If they are equally responsible for the formation of other clusters, then different clusters may share the same name, which may puzzle some users. From the next version (5.8.R2), all labels will be unique.
