I was really surprised to see how little research is done in the CS fields until I realized something: the lines only show the quantity of citations going in and out <i>across different fields</i>.<p>They have bio and med listed separately when they're really closely tied - so they naturally have a huge amount of information exchange going on between the two, making for the seemingly-gargantuan research count/amonut for those areas.<p>In CS, on the other hand, the amount of research <i>is</i> huge (probably biggest of all since the barrier of entry is so low and isn't limited to people of that field alone); but it's mainly CS people citing other CS people's work(s). We effectively live in a bubble, albeit a very huge one. We interact and share with one another, but not that much with the rest of the industries - and we probably should, since there's a lot of ideas in cyberspace that can be mapped directly to real life.....
