Limited knowledge exchange across biological subfields in agent-based modelling

A bibliometric analysis of 22,936 agent-based modelling articles from Web of Science, classified by an LLM into biological subfields. Based on citations and author overlap, 83%, 81% and 69% of references in ecology, epidemiology and oncology stay within their own subfield.

Why it matters

Shows modelling methods transfer poorly between domains, limiting reuse of approaches in large systems.
