Trends

Topic momentum in the current dataset only.

Curated corpus trendsMomentum sanity check

Counts and deltas are computed over included worksin 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 labels are imported metadata and can be noisy; use them as coarse navigation hints, not authoritative classifications.

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.
