Abstract: Abstract Maps of science representing the structure of science can help us understand science and technology (S&T) development. Studies have thus developed techniques for analyzing research activities’ relationships; however, ongoing research projects and recently published papers have difficulty in applying inter-citation and co-citation analysis. Therefore, in order to characterize what is currently being attempted in the scientific landscape, this paper proposes a new content-based method of locating research projects in a multi-dimensional space using the recent word/paragraph embedding techniques. Specifically, for addressing an unclustered problem associated with the original paragraph vectors, we introduce paragraph vectors based on the information entropies of concepts in an S&T thesaurus. The experimental results show that the proposed method successfully formed a clustered map from 25,607 project descriptions of the 7th Framework Programme of EU from 2006 to 2016 and 34,192 project descriptions of the National Science Foundation from 2012 to 2016.
