- Shortlisted for the best paper award at the European Semantic Web Conference, this paper presents an approach to identifying communities of researchers who work on semantically related topics at the same time. This approach, which characterises research trajectories as diachronic distributions of semantic topics, enables the analysis of key research dynamics, including migration of researchers across areas and the emergence, fusion and disappearance of research communities. This work led to a grant from Springer (Editorial Director, Springer, details on request), which funded further developments and adaptations of this approach for the task of predicting the emergence of novel scientific areas.
