Fig. 1

A chord diagram representation of the affinities between research areas. The affinity indices were defined as the time-averaged Jaccard similarity indices and were evaluated between each pair of research areas (Supplementary Methods and Discussion). They were assigned to each connection between the research areas, represented proportionally by the size of each arc, from which it is evident that the degree of affinity varied considerably for different pairs of the disciplines (see Supplementary Table S3 for the source data)
