The scientific community utilizing neutron research infrastructures encompasses a diverse range of disciplines, making it challenging to quantify its scientific and societal impact. To address this challenge, we apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to analyze the scientific output of the European neutron science community. Leveraging open-source software toolkits, our method allows for the quantitative assessment of community evolution and research focus. Our analysis reveals consistent growth in the neutron community despite a reduction in sources, underscoring the enduring significance of neutron methods in scientific research. Furthermore, an increase in unique authors and an even distribution of publications across diverse scientific topics highlight the community’s interdisciplinary nature and collaborative spirit. While this study emphasizes neutron scattering, our methodology holds promise for a broad range of scientific communities reliant on Large Research Infrastructures (LRIs), offering opportunities for collaboration, optimization of experimental approaches, and informed decision-making by governmental and funding bodies.}, cin = {JCNS-FRM-II / MLZ / JCNS-4}, ddc = {600}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218 / I:(DE-588b)4597118-3 / I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-4-20201012}, pnm = {6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (FZJ) (POF4-6G4) / 632 - Materials – Quantum, Complex and Functional Materials (POF4-632)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-6G4 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-632}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {39962151}, UT = {WOS:001424375700039}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-025-88099-w}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1039736}, }
