This Research Front on CIVIL WARS from the field of Social Sciences, general was selected for mapping from the list of Fast Moving Fronts for January 2006. The map is a diagrammatic representation of the 21 core papers comprising the front. Each circle represents a highly cited paper whose bibliographic information is displayed when the user clicks on the circle. The lines between circles represent the strongest co-citation links for each paper (that is, indicating that the papers are frequently cited together). Papers close to each other on the map are generally more highly co-cited.


James D. Fearon talks about his highly cited paper, "Ethnicity, insurgency, and civil war," (AMER POLIT SCI REV, 97 (1): 75-90 FEB 2003) which is this month's emerging research front in microbiology. This paper is represented in the map below.
