Map of Science

• It analyses the relationships between scientific
  disciplines based on clickstream data from over a
  billion user interactions with online databases
  and publications.
• Created by the Los Alamos National Laboratory
• unexpected relations between scientific domains
  that point to emerging relationships that are
  capturing the collective interest of the
  scientific communityfor instance a connection
  between ecology and architecture.
