Top 10 most frequent and representative terms for each HPR category, extracted from the titles and abstracts of papers published since 2018 to focus on recent, specialized terminology. Terms are generally listed in descending order of frequency, but those marked with an asterisk (*) are included for their distinctiveness despite their lower frequencies. HPR indicates the proportion of total occurrences of a term found in HIC-Sci papers, which constitute 30.0% of all papers analyzed (Methods).
