Research trends & landscape
Where the indexed corpus is accumulating evidence, and where it remains thin. These are corpus signals, not claims about the whole literature.
Showing 3844 distinct papers across all available history from 2025-12-01 by publication date, with fetched-date fallback. 336 use the fetched date because no usable publication date was available. The week beginning 2026-08-24 is partial.
What changed in the latest complete weeks
The recent window covers 2026-07-27 to 2026-08-23; the equally sized prior window covers 2026-06-29 to 2026-07-26. Each comparison uses a category’s share of distinct papers in that window. Categories can overlap, so their shares need not sum to 100%. The partial current week remains on the chart and in cumulative totals but is excluded from this comparison, momentum labels, and recent-gap counts.

Technology Adoption Rate
-13.7 percentage points: 153 of 802 recent papers (19.1%), versus 66 of 201 (32.8%) before.
Cumulative growth shows where observed attention has accumulated
Distinct papers by outcome across the selected corpus window. Use weekly intake to inspect collection pace, or weekly share to account for changing volume. Intake counts what we collected, so a step change in it usually means the collection or filtering process changed rather than the research literature. The current week is still being collected and is kept out of the weekly views.

Complete-week category comparison
Recent and prior windows each cover 4 complete weeks. Shares use distinct papers in each window; categories can overlap. Labels describe collection composition, not a category’s importance, and are withheld when samples are too small.

Organizations represented in admitted papers
The table covers papers admitted by the Commonplace topic and relevance pipeline. It uses public OpenAlex affiliation records for their authors. These counts cannot support estimates of a company’s total research output, staff, research quality, or impact. Microsoft-specific audit records and all internal adjudication data are excluded.
OpenAlex author observations cover 3202 of 3844 papers in this view (83.3%). Resolved organization affiliations appear on 1987 papers (51.7%) and 5572 of 11203 indexed authorships.
| Organization group | Distinct papers | Distinct indexed authors | Fractional affiliation-linked authorships | Share of resolved authorships |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 17 | 16.5 | 0.3% |
2 additional organization groups withheld because the paper or author count is below the disclosure threshold.
Each authorship contributes at most one total unit across all resolved affiliations. The denominator includes resolved university, government, nonprofit, and corporate affiliations, including organizations not shown in this comparison.
Candidate evidence gaps
A gap here means the current filters show few or no classified papers, sparse evidence in the latest complete comparison window, no extracted full text, or no causal-design papers. The current partial week does not count as recent evidence. A gap does not establish that the wider literature is empty.

How to read this page
Counts are based on the indexed Commonplace corpus. Publication-date views fall back to the date a paper entered the collection when publication metadata is missing. Categories are claim-level labels, so the charts count distinct papers to avoid rewarding papers that produce many extracted claims. Cumulative totals are prefix sums of those distinct-paper counts; weekly share values use the selected week’s distinct-paper denominator. Categories can overlap when one paper has claims in more than one category. Organization groups use source-observed affiliations from the latest OpenAlex author observation for each paper; raw affiliation strings never become organization entities unless the provider resolves them. The current calendar week stays visible as a partial period but is excluded from comparisons, momentum labels, and gap recency until it closes.
Before interpreting a thin category as a true research gap, inspect the Evidence matrix, Explorer, published syntheses, Methods & evidence, and Coverage quality.
