This Research Front on NEOTROPICAL RAIN FORESTS from the field of Environment/Ecology was selected for mapping from the list of Emerging Research Fronts for August 2004 (data from the second bimonthly period of 2004). The map is a diagrammatic representation of the ten core papers comprising the front. Each circle represents a highly cited paper whose bibliographic information is displayed when the user clicks on the circle. The lines between circles represent the strongest co-citation links for each paper (that is, indicating that the papers are frequently cited together). Papers close to each other on the map are generally more highly co-cited.
