Abstract

The selection of the research area is very vital for new researchers. One of the major issues for researchers is the selection of the domain of research on which he/she can carry out research. This case is very vital on the grounds that it decides the future of the researchers in that research area. Finding hot and attractive research areas is not considered in the relevant literature of Scientometrics. In this regard, the correct decision of the selection of the research domain helps the researchers to show better performance as well gain a good academic career. The main aim of this research study is to figure out the attractive research areas for the researchers, especially who are at the starting stage of their research life. To the best of our knowledge, this research area is still very limited due to limited work done in this area. So in order to distinguish the attractive research field for the new researchers, new rising fields are identified by applying the well-known g-index, which is widely used for finding the top authors in academic networks. In addition, we compute diverse, relevant features of the research fields which help us to identify top research area. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is capable to recommend the attractive research fields for potential future research work. An extensive empirical analysis has been carried out using the widely used academic database of DBLP.

Highlights

  • In the field of Research one of the basic thing is to choose a field of interest for research purpose that determine the future of a scientist

  • In order to distinguish the attractive research field for the new researchers, new rising fields are identified by applying the well-known g-index, which is widely used for finding the top authors in academic networks

  • In the initial stages of the research, the research finds a particular research field that is among particular other research field, but sometimes, researchers find it pretty hard to find a research area that is related to their interest and that is overall an attractive research field for the research community

Summary

Introduction

In the field of Research one of the basic thing is to choose a field of interest for research purpose that determine the future of a scientist. Researchers proposed many techniques to identify the attractiveness of the research papers [2] In this regard, authors collaboration with the other authors plays an important role in the attractiveness of the [3]. Paper titles, readability and other factors play an important role in the attractiveness of the paper our task in this paper is to identify yet another method that find attractive research areas. As G-index is an improved method and it computes the productivity of the science, it performs better and gives better results
