From the database of Essential Science Indicators, this list of Emerging Research Fronts has been generated by a comparison of the data sets for the current period of November 1999-October 31, 2005, and the previous period of September 1999-August 31, 2005 (sliding 6-year period). Of the 5,518 Research Fronts in the 1999-October 31, 2005 file, a total of 763 (14%) were new.
