How this was made: references are read from each paper’s own TeX source (its .bib file or inline bibliography) in OpenAI’s repository, as of October 19, 2026. Works and authors are matched with OpenAlex by DOI or arXiv ID where it knows them (about four in five works), which merges a work cited in different ways and a person listed under different spellings; the rest are matched by title, and by surname and first initial. Treat the counts as close, not exact. The data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0.
