Behind the spikes
What’s driving the surge
The newest papers inside the fastest-growing topics — the reading list behind the numbers.
Relative attention
Share winners and losers
Change in each topic’s share of all published papers — growth relative to the whole field, not just raw counts.
28-day change
Cooling off
Topics losing the most publication volume against the previous four weeks — where researchers are moving on.
Leading indicators
Emerging vocabulary
Keyphrases rising fastest across recent papers — new ideas often show up here before they are big enough to become topics.

Cross-pollination
Emerging intersections
Pairs of topics from different fields appearing together on the same papers more and more — new subfields tend to be born here.

Snapshot 2026-w37
How the map is evolving
New topics, merges, and splits from reclustering. Stable topic IDs survive these events, so follows keep working.
No structural changes yet
New topics, merges, and splits will appear here as the map evolves.
Plus 40 topics renamed for clarity in recent snapshots — same topics, clearer names.
