Abstract

[Objective] This paper analyzes the fine-grained characteristics of funding and paper data in English, aiming to identify the frontiers of scientific research. [Methods] We retrieved NSF funded projects and WOS papers in the field of carbon nanotubes, and identified their LDA themes. Then, we compared their topic novelty, intensity and similarity. [Results] We found two trending topics, five emerging topics, four dying topics and two topics with potentialities. [Limitations] We did not evaluate our method with data in Chinese. [Conclusions] Compared with methods relying on single data source or dimension, our method can identify the frontiers of scientific research more effectively.

Key words： Scientific Research Front Topic Recognition Fund Project Paper
