Is your research being one of the "100 TOP RANKED SPECIALTIES" in 2014.

"This year, Research Fronts 2014 was undertaken as a collaborative project by the Joint Research Center of Emerging Technology Analysis established by Thomson Reuters and the National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In this report, 100 hot research fronts and 44 emerging ones were identified based on cocitation analysis that generated more than 9,700
research fronts in the Thomson Reuters database Essential Science Indicators (ESI). "

- The 2014 Thomson Reuters Research Fronts report

Some emerging research fronts are listed here:

Tag : general, Thomson Reuters,

What will be the INNOVATIONS around you in 2025? See what Thomson Reuters predicts ...

Define a good topic for your PhD study is a painful process, but extremely important. Your interest, fund availability, current research trends, your supervisor, etc.... all need to be considered.

Take a look on what Thomson Reuters predicts, let's see if you can find any idea there, or package your ideas well for your weekly meeting. Most of them are the current hot research topics and I find how new materials can check the world in the future.
