On Wasted Contributions: Understanding the Dynamics of Contributor-Abandoned Pull Requests–A Mixed-Methods Study of 10 Large Open-Source Projects

0 signed · 102 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.
