How to read it
- A paper with authors in several countries counts for each, so the country totals (10,417) add up to more than the 5,949 papers counted over 2019–2025.
- Hong Kong and Macau are counted separately from China. Hover labels show the ISO country codes used in the data file.
- The data file labels the counts submissions; the report describes them as accepted papers.
