Recognition and completeness: two key metrics for judging the utility of citizen science data

https://doi.org/10.1002/fee.2604
0 signed · 67 inferred · view as graph

Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not evidence of absence.
