share signed by the most active 5%

The last share tells how far the topic passes through few hands: in the field it ranges from 12% to 39%. 20% means that the topic has some reference groups but remains widespread. Signatures are counted, not papers: an article with four authors on the topic weighs four times, because the question is how much of the work passes through few people.

Most active institutions

The number tells how much work on the topic comes from each institution; specialisation tells how much the topic weighs within the institution compared with the field average. A small, focused institution can be more specialised than a large one that does everything.
