Similar to innovation and <a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/?p=607\" target=\"_blank\">collaboration networks<\/a> we\u2019ve been discussing here, this scientific paradigm map directly displays the relative influence of particular nodes on furthering research.  While it\u2019s easy to do in academic research since everyone is militant about citations (like I am here on systematicHR), in the less formal business world where self interest sometimes gets in the way of the greater good the mapping process becomes a bit more gray.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/didi.com\/brad\/mapOfScience\/\" target=\"_blank\">discussion threads<\/a> and let me know if you have any ideas on how we could apply this in HR.  At first I thought the whole thing looked rather parasitic, but as I studied it, it\u2019s really a creation that\u2019s quite beautiful (in an odd sort of way).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As to what the image depicts, it was constructed by sorting roughly 800,000 scientific papers (shown as white dots) into 776 different scientific paradigms (red circular nodes) based on how often the papers were cited together by authors of other papers. Links (curved lines) were made between the paradigms that shared common members, then treated as rubber bands, holding similar paradigms nearer one another when a physical simulation had every paradigm repel every other: thus the layout derives directly from the data. Larger paradigms have more papers. Labels list common words unique to each paradigm.\u00a0\u00a0 ((W.
