An authorship is one author name on one paper. Unique authors count each resolved author page once per publication-year group, not just in their debut year. “Pre-2020” deduplicates across all earlier years. Editors, front matter, and deleted papers are excluded.

Historical checkpoints use the last main-branch commit before the first of each month (UTC), starting February 2026. Verification and ORCID status reflect each checkpoint, not today's status. Unverified pages can conflate different people with the same name or split one person across names. Download the chart data (JSON).
