47%
share of 2024's AI publications in journals; conferences 23.5%, down from 36.7% in 2013
What the chart shows
In 2024, 47.0% of AI publications appeared in journals and 23.5% at conferences. The conference share has fallen from 36.7% in 2013, although the number of conference papers has grown.
Papers found only in repositories such as arXiv jumped to 62,500 (23.7%) in 2024 from 19,700 a year earlier. Part of that is a lag: papers often appear in a repository before a journal or conference assigns them.
