Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Heat Transfer and Numerical Methods as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0028% in 2024.
Fractional works of Heat Transfer and Numerical Methods over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
