A fascinating idea, but I would like to see a bit more depth. Maybe some specific examples or at least an explanation of something in the image. Single source, no peer reaction.

The language is accessible. The topic is interesting; people rarely think about how science as a mix of fields evolves. The connection between the study of science and networks is very current thinking. However, the author is unknown (who is arXiv?) and the report does not delve far enough into the topic. The accompanying image is very explanatory.
