Description: Provides a unified set of methods to detect scientific
        emergence and technological trajectories in academic papers and
        patents. The package combines citation network analysis with
        community detection and attribute extraction, also applying
        natural language processing (NLP) and structural topic modeling
        (STM) to uncover the contents of research communities. It
        implements metrics and visualizations of community
        trajectories, including novelty indicators, citation cycle
        time, and main path analysis, allowing researchers to map and
        interpret the dynamics of emerging knowledge fields.
        Applications of the method include: Souza et al. (2022)
