This paper addresses the question, “what are the emerging areas of research in community economic development (CED)”. Using dispersion-analysis of journal publications in the field, the difficulty of repeat-publications in CED is explored. Next, using natural-language processing algorithms, key concepts in CED are “mapped” to identify research opportunities. The results of this research should be of interest to CED stakeholders wanting to advance or promote research in the study area.
