Map of Knowledge

without comments

The New York Times posted a “Map of Knowledge“:

I am not sure why the first three all are at the very edge of the map, and not connected. The original source of the map is at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

It is based on electronic data searches in which users moved from one journal to another, thus establishing associations between them.
