This paper addresses the problem of scientific research analysis. We present various novel topic models which classify research papers based on topic and language. Moreover, we show various insightful statistics and correlations within and across three research fields: Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, and Education. In particular, we show how topics change over time within each field, wh...
