Trends

Topic momentum inside your curated slice only.

Counts and deltas are computed over included works in Research Radar (the same ingestion policy as search and ranking), not OpenAlex-wide. We compare papers from the selected "recent" year window against an earlier band to label topics rising, steady, or cooling — a sanity check for the corpus, not a field-wide forecast.

Topic momentum (curated corpus)

What this means

If a label rises here, it means your current venue mix and inclusion rules are producing more papers tagged with that OpenAlex topic in the recent window — useful for interpreting topic_growth-style signals, not for claiming the whole field moved.

What is still ahead

Corpus-snapshot–specific trends, cluster dynamics, and labeled evaluation (see Evaluation) sit outside this v0 view.
