High-resolution map of cross-fertilization in science By looking at clickstream behavior of actual journal readers instead of at citations, Johan Bollen was able to show connections between disciplines based on what researchers were actually reading, instead of what they were citing. This represents something in the neighborhood of a billion pieces of user data from various web portals. I still see lots of isolated nodes, and a heavy bias to natural sciences (which is understandable), but there’s some interesting connections … like between “architecture/design” and “ecology”.
