The field of scientific research is witnessing a significant shift towards interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of diverse knowledge bases. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of predicting scientific frontiers and identifying emerging trends in research. The use of temporal graph benchmarks and science of science studies has become increasingly popular in understanding the evolution of scientific disciplines and the impact of collaboration on research outcomes. Noteworthy papers in this area include: FOS, a comprehensive time-aware graph-based benchmark for predicting new field-pair linkages, which has shown promising results in identifying pioneering interdisciplinary directions. The Intertwined Rise of Collaboration Scale, Reference Diversity, and Breakthrough Potential in Modern Science, a 40-year cross-disciplinary study that uncovers striking differences across disciplines in the co-evolution of authorship team size, reference diversity, and citation impact.
