Predicting scientific research trends based on link prediction in keyword networks

作者:

Highlights:

• Article keywords as knowledge elements could be beneficial for bibliometric analysis.

• Keyword networks are small-worlds but not scale-free networks.

• We proposed a new link prediction algorithm based of nodes topological features.

• Machine learning based methods could be useful for future studies to find new domains.

• Journal and conference outlets are both valuable sources for bibliometric analysis.
