Pairs whose collaboration density is rising

Each row is a pair of OpenAlex topics that already have Arkansas-affiliated researchers co-authoring across them. The emergence score combines the count of cross-topic edges (how often researchers in one topic publish with researchers in the other), the cognitive distance between the topics, and a √cross-edges volume weight. We list pairs whose score rose for at least two consecutive snapshots, ranked by total delta from the earliest snapshot to the latest.

The sparkline beside each pair shows the per-snapshot score. Hover a pair for the topic names in full.
