-The Map of Science visualization shows the publication activity of any organization, person, or university in 
-a VIVO instance mapped by the area of science or subdiscipline being researched.<br /> <br /> 
+VIVO's Map of Science visualization depicts the topical expertise a university, organization, or person has 
+based on past publications loaded into VIVO. Shown here is the expertise profile of the ${entityLabel}--larger 
+circle sizes denote more publications per topic area.<br /><br />
 
-You can use VIVO's Map of Science visualization to see where ${entityLabel} is active in the world of science, 
-<em><b>although only publications that have been loaded into this VIVO site will appear.</b></em><br /><br />
-
-Colored circles are drawn for subdisciplines where the organization has publications. The more publications the 
-organization has, the larger the circle drawn. Those subdisciplines without any publications are marked in gray.
-<br /><br /> 
-
-Circles are overlaid on the Map of Science, which is made of 554 interconnected subdisciplines, shown as grey 
-dots here. A subdiscipline is defined as a cluster of journals that share a common topic. The Map of Science 
-groups over 16,000 journals into 554 subdisciplines using similarities in their lists of references and key 
-terms. Subdisciplines that are especially similar to one another are connected by lines, and will be closer to 
-one another on the map.<br /><br />

-The map of science is divided into 13 disciplines, each of which has its own area on the map, as well as its own 
-color. Each of these disciplines contains multiple subdisciplines. You can switch between the discipline and

+The <b># of pubs.</b> column shows how many of the publications were mapped to each (sub)discipline. This count can be 
+fractional because some publication venues are associated with more than one (sub)discipline. Each publication 
+in such a venue contributes fractionally to all associated (sub)disciplines according to a weighting scheme.<br /><br />
