Geography
- Group By
authorships.countries
- Membership
A work contributes once to every country represented by an OpenAlex authorship; duplicate authorships in one country do not increase that country's count.
- Unknown Country
Collected explicitly and included in the all-work denominator, but not ranked as a country.
- Adaptive Universe
Every reviewed two-letter country code returned by complete cursor pagination is ranked, including OpenAlex's XK code for Kosovo; membership may change by snapshot.
