+The Map of Science visualization shows the publication activity of any organization, person, or university in

based solely
-on publications that have been loaded into this VIVO instance.

-Overlaid circles are larger if ${entityLabel} has many publications in that subdiscipline, and are smaller if ${entityLabel} has
-fewer publications in that subdiscipline.

-Circles are overlaid on the Map of Science itself, which is made of 554 interconnected subdisciplines, shown as grey dots here.
-A subdiscipline is defined as a cluster of journals. 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 interconnected,
-and will be closer to one another on the map.
+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.

-${entityLabel}'s publication activity can be categorized into 13 disciplines or 554 subdisciplines on the map of science.

-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 hover over a discipline in the table below to show
