• whowriteswho.github.io — published site.
• Visualization: igraph, ggraph, and D3 on the published site.

How to contribute

1. Reproduce the metadata fetch against a small date range.
2. Propose one refinement to author disambiguation, backed by a failing test case.
3. Add one new community-level figure with a one-paragraph interpretation.

Pitfalls

• Author disambiguation is never perfect. Report the ambiguity rate alongside any author-level metric.
• OpenAlex is updated continuously. Cache the metadata pull per analysis run so results are reproducible.
