Abstract

With the progress of science and technology, a large number of scientific papers are published every year. Faced with such large data, identifying high-value research and hot research directions has become an interesting and important task. Previous studies focus less on the popularity measurement of research papers. In this paper, we use a dynamic topic model (DTM) for tracking the topic evolution trend and measuring the popularity of research papers based on the topic hotness. To test our model effectiveness, we conduct experiments on 5,964 research papers in the category of management. Our results show that DTM can help to monitor topic evolution and measuring popularity for scientific literature. © 2021 IEEE.
