What do 40 years of ABCD look like in data? This page gathers interactive visualizations of the journal's scientific reach and of the community behind it. Every chart is live: hover, drag, zoom and click to explore.
The counter below shows the total number of times ABCD articles have been cited by other scientific publications (source: Web of Science) — a direct measure of the journal's influence on the field.
ABCD has become a platform for international research: each red arc links Brazil to a country whose researchers co-authored multicenter or collaborative studies published in the journal — more than 20 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. Drag the globe to spin it; the side list ranks the strongest partnerships.
How to read this map: each circle is one of the most productive ABCD authors; the size of the circle reflects how many articles that author published in the journal; colors group researchers who frequently publish together (research communities); and each line is at least one co-authored paper. Scroll to zoom, drag to move, and hover a name for details (data: Dimensions).
