| Abstract | This study combines two relatively independent approaches to identifying scientific breakthroughs from an analysis of the scientific literature. The first approach focuses on citation network data that is gleaned from the bibliography of scientific documents. The second approach focuses on the text in these documents (especially the text surrounding a reference, the so-called citation context). We have linked these two approaches in order to identify potential scientific breakthroughs within three research communities. The analysis is facilitated by creating a large scale categorization of words and phrases called modalities that scientists use to enhance or diminish the credibility of scientific statements. The rates of occurrence of the modality categories for research communities, papers and sub-regions of those communities are examined to provide indicators for changes in research direction. |
