Multidisciplinary䞉 An Overview of the Topic Prominence Function
The Scopus literature was clustered into approximately 96,000 topics and 1,500 topic clusters based on citation links and ranked byProminence. Prominence indicates the current momentum and attention level of a topic by looking at the number of citations in the most recent
literature, the number of Scopus views, and the CiteScore. The highest Prominence percentile is 100; Prominence is correlated with grants andhelps researchers and administrators identify topics with the highest potential for increased funding.
(Excerpted from Elsevier Quick Reference Guide, May 2020)
Between 2018 and 2022, of all Kyushu University publications, 7,884 research fields emerged as high-profile topics.
䕺Perspectives䕺䞉 Circumference indicates research fields used in Scopus (ASJC 27 major subject areas) by color.
䞉 Each circle represents a topic.
䞉 Color of circle: For the fields of the publications that make up the topics, the fields that make the highest proportion of the total are displayed in
the color of the fields located around the circumference.
䞉 Size of circle indicates the output of the entity in the topic.
䞉 Position of the circle is based upon the ASJC categories of the journals in which the scholarly output is published. Topics closer to the centerof the wheel are more likely to be multidisciplinary.
