了解产生新兴课题（ETs或新兴研究课题）的驱动力将有助于科学技术的健康发展。在本研究中，我们的目标是通过分析研究人员参与前、当代和参与后发表的包含新兴关键词的文章，阐明过去半个世纪以来生命科学和医学领域研究人员产生和发展ETs的动态。我们的研究结果表明，虽然出版的人力需求增加了，但现在产生ETs实际上需要的人力较少，并且预先参与某些研究主题对于产生常规ETs变得重要，而不是诺贝尔奖级别的ETs。最后，我们发现，在这个后基因组时代，那些产生et的研究人员也继续关注这些领域。这些趋势表明，在过去50年里，已经产生和发展了碳排放交易的研究人员的科学实践模式发生了转变，同时也突出了资助那些有可能产生高影响力碳排放交易的项目的重要性。
Understanding the driving forces that generate emerging topics (ETs or Emerging Research Topics) will assist in the sound development of science and technologies. In the present study, we aim to clarify the researcher dynamics of generating and developing ETs in life sciences and medicine over the past half-century by analyzing the pre-, contemporary-, and post-participation of researchers publishing articles containing the emerging keywords that are elements of ETs. Our results suggest that, while manpower needs for publication have increased, less manpower is actually required to generate ETs these days and that pre-participation in certain research topics has become important to generate regular ETs but not Nobel Prize-class ones. Finally, we discovered that, in this post-genomic era, those researchers who generate ETs also continue to focus on those fields. These trends illustrate a mode shift in the scientific practice of researchers that have generated and developed ETs over the last 50 years as well as highlight the significance of funding projects with high probabilities of generating high-impact ETs.
