Disentangling scientific fields using temporal clustering

The short presentation introduces the semanticlayertools software package which supports the study of the evolution of scientific fields using network-related methods. An application for the field of astrophysics is presented together with visualization strategies for the emergence of related research fields and the role of specific institutions in thematic clusters.
