Currently Researching shows the status of research in the selected field of study.

Resources needed to complete

Resources needed to complete current research. If you invest more resources than are necessary to complete the current technology, the excess resource may be applied against the next level of the current research field or against a different field.

Estimated time to completion

The years-to-completion number is based on values that change from year to year and is almost always conservative. The number cannot anticipate resource expansion due to population growth and construction, nor can it anticipate any resources freed when your production queues become empty.

Next field to research

This automatically changes the field of research once you attain the technology level you're currently researching. Any resources not used that turn in researching the current field are applied to researching the next field. Selecting Lowest Field will automatically switch research to the field with the lowest level after each advance.
