Impact

EVL's research, funding and open-source work, year by year.

EVL's publications, citations, PhD graduates, funding and open-source work by calendar year since 2020. The numbers come from this site's Publications, Members, Funding and Repositories pages, and change when those pages do.

Citations, repositories and downloads were last collected on November 9, 2026. Download the table as CSV or JSON.

What is counted

  1. Publications. Entries of the Publications page, by year, that have at least one author who is EVL faculty or emeritus faculty on the Members page. Authors are matched by last name and first initial. Preprints and other @misc and @unpublished entries are not counted. A PhD or MS thesis counts here when an EVL faculty member is among its authors; PhD graduates have their own row. Sources: Publications, Members.
  2. Citations. Citations received in each year by the entries the Publications row counts, whatever year they were published, from OpenAlex. An entry is found in OpenAlex by its DOI, then its arXiv id, then its exact title. Two entries for the same work count once. Sources: OpenAlex.
    Coverage:
    • Of the 540 entries counted, of any year, 424 are in OpenAlex and 112 were not found; 4 theses without a DOI or arXiv id are not looked up.
  3. PhD graduates. People on the Members page whose degrees include a PhD in that year. Sources: Members.

  4. Funded projects (active). Grants in this site's grant list (_data/grants.csv, the list the Funding page shows) that were active at any time in the year. The Funding page shows current grants only; this row also counts grants that have ended. Sources: Funding.
    Grants active since 2020:
  5. New funding (UIC share). The UIC share of the grants that started in the year, as the Funding page lists it. Sources: Funding.
  6. Open repositories (total). The public repositories the Repositories page lists, forks included, that existed at the end of each year. Only repositories that are public today are counted. Sources: Repositories.
    Today:
  7. Package downloads. Downloads in each year of the packages that the listed repositories publish, under their current names (_data/impact.yml). PyPI downloads come from ClickHouse's public PyPI dataset and include mirrors; npm downloads come from npm's download counts. Installing a package also downloads the packages it depends on, so one install of @urban-toolkit/autk counts once for each autk package. Sources: ClickHouse PyPI dataset, npm download counts.

Notes

  • Years are calendar years. 2026 runs through November 9, 2026.
  • Code: _plugins/impact.rb counts every row when the site is built, and _impact/collect.mjs collects citations, repositories and downloads once a week and whenever the bibliography or the repository list changes.
