Tracing scientist's research trends realtimely
In this research, we propose a method to trace scientists' research trends
realtimely. By monitoring the downloads of scientific articles in the journal
of Scientometrics for 744 hours, namely one month, we investigate the download
statistics. Then we aggregate the keywords in these downloaded research papers,
and analyze the trends of article downloading and keyword downloading.
Furthermore, taking both the download of keywords and articles into
consideration, we design a method to detect the emerging research trends. We
find that in scientometrics field, social media, new indices to quantify
scientific productivity (g-index), webometrics, semantic, text mining, open
access are emerging fields that scientometrics researchers are focusing on.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
