Clarivate and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Release Annual Collaborative Report to Identify 125 Research Fronts
Rhea-AI Summary
Clarivate and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have released their 11th annual Research Fronts 2024 report, identifying 125 dynamic research specialties in sciences and social sciences. The report highlights 110 'hot' and 15 'emerging' research fronts, including studies on monoclonal antibodies for early Alzheimer's treatment and Generative AI in education.
The analysis, based on Clarivate's Essential Science Indicators database, tracks patterns of co-citation among scientific papers. The accompanying comparative analysis shows the United States leading research activities across 11 areas, followed by Mainland China, with the UK, Germany, and France completing the top five countries.
Positive
- Continued strategic partnership with Chinese Academy of Sciences strengthens Clarivate's position in research analytics
- Expansion of research coverage with 125 identified research fronts demonstrates comprehensive market reach
Negative
- None.
Insights
This annual research report collaboration between Clarivate and CAS has minimal direct market impact. While it showcases Clarivate's continued leadership in academic research analytics and strong relationship with China's premier research institution, the report is a routine publication that doesn't materially affect revenue or business operations. The identification of 125 research fronts demonstrates Clarivate's data analytics capabilities but represents business-as-usual for their academic services division.
The continued U.S. leadership in research activities, with China in second place, aligns with existing market expectations. While Clarivate's strategic position in China's academic market is valuable, particularly through this CAS partnership, this report primarily serves as a marketing and relationship-building tool rather than a significant business driver.
Revealing highly active specialties in sciences and social sciences
The report identifies 125 Research Fronts, comprising 110 'hot' Fronts and 15 'emerging' Fronts. A hot Research Front represents an active area of study, while an emerging Research Front indicates a rapidly developing field in scientific research. The ability to identify these specialty areas of research provides a distinct advantage for those who seek to monitor, support and advance research, often in the face of finite resources. This includes governments, policymakers, publishers, research administrators and companies.
Bar Veinstein, President, Academia & Government, Clarivate, said: "The annual Research Fronts report guides us to look to the future of research by identifying the hottest and emerging specialty areas. At Clarivate, our mission is to advance the success of researchers and organizations through transformative intelligence and trusted partnership. Research Fronts provides valuable insights for leading research organizations, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences by enabling them to identify the areas for development."
This year's Research Fronts address a diverse range of societal challenges. For example, in clinical medicine, a Research Front focuses on the use of monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease. This research aims to accelerate the global effort to eliminate the disease. In the field of economics, psychology and other social sciences, another emerging front highlights the application and impact of Generative AI in education, which has already made a significant difference.
Wu Zhaohui, Vice President of CAS said: "CAS has consistently prioritized in-depth strategic research to prepare for future development. Since 2014, CAS has collaborated with Clarivate to release the Research Fronts report series. This report highlights the frontiers of global science and technology, analyzes significant scientific breakthroughs that could impact the future of the world and aligns with
Research Fronts are defined by examining patterns of co-citation among scientific papers, reflecting a specific commonality in their research – sometimes experimental data, or a method, a concept or hypothesis. Expert analysts at Clarivate used the Essential Science Indicators (ESI)™ database which is built on the foundation of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)™ and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)™, to conduct co-citation analysis. They track clusters of frequently co-cited papers over a five-year period. Once such a group of highly cited papers attains a certain level of activity and coherence, it is classified as a Research Front.
In conjunction with the Research Fronts 2024 report, Clarivate and CAS also published 2024 Research Fronts: Active Fields, Leading Countries/Regions - a comparative analysis of regional performance across the 125 Research Fronts. The report reveals that
