Figure 1.
Data from Web of Science topic search for synthetic biology or synthetic genomics or synthetic genome or synthetic genomes in January 2012. Data for recent years may be partial due to lag times. This data can be explored in Workbook S1.
Figure 2.
A Fruchterman-Reingold representation in Gephi of the top 356 aggregated terms of 36,262 terms within Web of Science literature for synthetic biology based on titles, abstracts and author keywords following stemming. Node size is based on the number of records. Node positions have been adjusted to clarify labels.
Figure 3.
A Fruchterman-Reingold representation in Gephi of the top aggregated terms for synthetic biology within Web of Science based on titles, abstracts and author keywords appearing in more than 20 or more records following stemming. Node size is based on the number of records. Node positions have been adjusted to clarify labels.
Figure 4.
Country Rankings and Organization Distribution Map.
The figure ranks countries on the number of authors from a country appearing in publications in Web of Science linked to geocoded organizational information on their global distribution. Country rankings are base on data for 1160 records of 1255 records. This data can be explored in Workbook S1.
Figure 5.
This network map shows all author organizations with more than three publication records in Web of Science for the core landscape for synthetic biology. Where available this network map distinguishes organizations by locations (i.e. ETH) to distinguish groups. This is a Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm network representation in Gephi. The original dense representation was expanded and nodes were manually adjusted to prevent label overlaps and reduce irrelevant node to edge intersections.
Figure 6.
This network map shows the relationships between 527 clusters of authors with publications on synthetic biology in Web of Science. Node size is based on the number of publications for a given author.
Figure 7.
This network map shows the network of authors with five or more publications on synthetic biology in Web of Science. Node size is based on the number of publications for a given author. Node position has been manually adjusted from Figure 5 to clarify labels.
Figure 8.
Key Articles in the Core Landscape.
This figure shows the main articles cited by other authors inside the core landscape for synthetic biology. Data is based on counts of citations in the cited literature field of publications in the core landscape. The data does not refer to total citations for an author or article within the wider scientific literature. This data can be explored in Workbook S1.
Figure 9.
Journal Subject Categories Core and Citing Landscapes.
This figure compares the Thomson Reuters Web of Science journal subject categories for journal articles in the core landscape (orange) with those in the citing landscape (blue). Data was split on the subject category field to focus on individual journal subject categories.
Figure 10.
This map shows the network of relations between funding organizations appearing in 5 or more publications within Web of Science on synthetic biology. The figure was generated using the Force Atlas algorithm and the results were manually adjusted with the objective of preventing incorrect node to edge intersections. It should be noted that large nodes such as the US National Science Foundation may display intersections with unrelated edges.
