Use when the user asks where their research stands, what they might be missing, which growing areas are close to their work, or how their work connects to other fields.\nmetadata:\n  short-description: Map where your research stands and its blind spots\n---\n\n# Map my research\n\nPlace a researcher's published work on a map of the themes around it.\n`my_position` returns every theme near their work with a status (home, blind\nspot, audience, and so on), the counts behind that status, whether the theme is\ngrowing, and a position to plot it at. The answer is a picture of where the work\nstands, drawn from the published record.\n\nThe blind spots are usually what the user came for: close, growing themes where\nthey have not published. Present them as a description of the landscape, never\nas advice on what to work on next.\n\n## Quick start\n\n1. Ask for the name they publish under **and** their institution, or an ORCID.\n   A name alone often matches several people.\n2. Call `my_position` once.\n3. If `found` is false and `candidates` came back, list them — name,\n   affiliation, main topic, number of works — and ask which one is right. Never\n   pick one silently. Then call again with the chosen `author_id`.\n4. If the user says their work is split across records (another spelling, a\n   former name), pass the other records' ids from `candidates` as\n   `extra_author_ids`.\n5. Draw the map when you can (see Drawing), then report.\n\n## Reading the result\n\n- `researcher` — the record that was mapped: name, current affiliations, how many\n  papers were placed (`placed_papers`, since `placed_since`), and how many records\n  were merged. Say which record you mapped.\n- `themes[].status`:\n  - `home` — where they publish most. A `slowing` tag means the theme itself is\n    declining, not their work.\n  - `secondary` — a smaller theme they publish in regularly.\n  - `blind_spot` — close to their home themes, growing, and they have at most one\n    paper there and few citation links either way.\n  - `under_connected` — very close but not growing, with no papers there.\n  - `audience` — they do not publish there, but papers there cite their work.\n  - `draws_on` — their papers cite work there, but they do not publish there.\n  - `other` — everything else on the map.\n- `why` — the rule and its numbers in words. Quote it rather than restating the\n  numbers yourself.\n- `similar` (`low` / `medium` / `high`) — how often the theme is tagged on the same\n  papers as their home themes. It means \"tagged together\", not \"the same subject\".\n- `your_link` — a personal measure: how much citing runs between their papers and\n  the theme, for its size. It is about this researcher, not about how the two\n  fields relate.\n- `momentum` — `accelerating`, `steady` or `declining` over `segment_window`;\n  `too_new` means not enough history and `unknown` means too few papers to say.\n  `momentum_vs_area` says whether the theme grows `faster` or `slower` than its\n  own area.\n- `yours`, `yours_recent`, `cites_you`, `you_cite` — their papers in the theme,\n  citing papers from it, and papers in it they cite.\n- `reach` — how many papers cite their work (`citing_papers`, since `since`), the\n  share from outside their home areas (`outside_home_areas_pct`), and the areas\n  citing them most (`top_citing_areas`).\n- `notes` — caveats. Repeat the ones that bear on what you say: themes are broad,\n  automatically assigned tags; blind spots are not advice; an author record can\n  merge two people or split one.\n\n## Drawing\n\nDraw the map by default when you can: an artifact or code in Claude, the Python\ntool in ChatGPT. When you cannot draw, give a table instead.\n\n- **Position:** the given `x` and `y`. Never recompute or move a theme.\n- **Bubble size:** `papers_recent`, on a log scale.\n- **Fill:** `momentum` in three steps (accelerating, steady, declining); grey for\n  `unknown` and `too_new`.\n- **Outline:** thick for `home`, dashed for `blind_spot`, dotted for `audience`\n  and `draws_on`.\n- **Sticks:** `links`, thicker for a higher `strength`.\n- **Labels:** home themes and blind spots only; list the rest in a legend or\n  table.\n\nNever draw a value that is not in the response.\n\n## Reporting\n\n1. **Where you stand** — the home themes, their momentum, and any that are slowing.\n2. **Who builds on your work** — `reach`, and the `audience` themes.\n3. **Blind spots** — each with its `why`.\n4. **Growing areas nearby** — other close themes with `accelerating` momentum.\n5. **What you build on but do not publish in** — the `draws_on` themes.\n6. **Caveats** — from `notes`.\n\n## Never\n\n- Rank, score, or judge the researcher. The map describes where the work sits.\n- Present a blind spot as something they must do, or as a sure bet.\n- Add themes, counts, or papers from memory.\n- Call it \"your\" work unless the user said it is theirs. For someone else, use\n  their name.\n- Read a theme label as an exact field. Labels are broad and assigned\n  automatically, and one can name a neighbouring field.\n\n## Related workflows\n\n- To explore around a blind spot or a home theme, use `map-a-field` with that\n  theme's `theme_id`.\n- To size one of the themes, use `survey-a-research-field`.\n- To find journals for a theme, use `choose-a-venue`.\n- To describe another researcher's work rather than place your own, use\n  `profile-a-researcher`.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
