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%. 18% means that the topic is widespread, with no recognisable centre. 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.
