Summary	Emergence detection in bibliometrics is a family of text-mining and bibliometric methods for spotting emerging research topics and technologies early, by analysing the dynamics of terms, citations, and references in publication streams. It combines burst-detection algorithms that flag sudden surges in usage with operational criteria for what makes a topic genuinely 'emerging', turning large scholarly corpora into early signals of scientific and technological change.	Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) analysis studies the emergence, growth, and performance of a specific technology by treating it as a system of actors, networks, and institutions that interact to generate, diffuse, and use that technology. Building on the systems-of-innovation tradition, the influential scheme of Bergek and colleagues combines a structural account of the system's components with a functional analysis of the key processes—or functions—that an innovation system must perform, then compares achieved with desired functionality to diagnose inducement and blocking mechanisms and derive policy.
