Periodic and quantitative assessment of research activities in a given area is an essential step to ensure identification of priority and niche areas. White-space, a term borrowed from spectrum analysis, in this context refers to areas of research (frequency bands) that are less explored. Thus white-space mapping or analysis identifies relative strength of research, and enables us to uncover opportunities that are not obvious or less explored. (Scientific Correspondence)
