The exhibit compares traditional historical mapping of political entities with the mapping of individual fields of scientific research. Science is mapped by tracking citations to papers indexed in the Web of Science database. Panels in the exhibit will present traditional early maps and several specific instances of the mapping of science. An interactive module will permit the viewer to create a digital map of a specific area of science.
