Number of articles per 1 million people - All
What you should know about this indicator
- CSET sources the data on the number of articles and citations from the Merged Academic Corpus (MAC), which includes over 260 million academic articles.
- Articles are marked as AI — related using an automated system.
- Articles are linked to countries based on the authors’ listed organizations. If at least one author is from an institution in a country, the article counts for that country.
- If authors are from multiple countries, the article counts once for each country, but only once per country even if there are multiple authors from the same place.
- For example, an article with authors from both the U.S. and Japan counts once for each.
