We thought that the Covid-19 pandemic would be a great opportunity to study the dynamics of the different document types. So, we displayed the Dtypes of 5.76 million publications from PubMed and OpenAlex since January 2020 in a dahsboard:

How does Wikipedia decide whether a scientist should be mentioned in an article that is not about them? 🤷 We call this the problem of "micro-notability", and we've studied how Wikipedia editors deal with it in two articles on CRISPR/Cas9: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
