Primes

• Bootstrapping
  • Fields, communities, and economies: a new academic field's early papers cited only by each other until internal mass accumulates

    This sourceTracks the birth of new scientific fields through collaboration- and citation-network growth, showing how an emerging field accumulates internal mass (early work cited largely within the nascent community) before reaching self-sustaining size — bootstrapping of a research community.
