Results are presented of a scientometric analysis focusing on peripher
al dynamics in a scientific field. We evaluate different techniques on
their appropriateness for detecting relations between aspects that se
em to be not of central interest but are important in innovative resea
rch. We do so in order to quantify the role that adverse drug reaction
s can play as trigger points in innovative drug research.
