Metrics are OpenAlex author metrics across all fields; the census counts only the CDR-relevant papers since 2021 listed below. Corrections and removal: info@carbon-drawdown.de, done within five working days (privacy notice).

Papers counted in the census

8 CDR-relevant papers and preprints since 2021 count for the top lists, by pathway: DAC 7, Cross-cutting CDR 1. A paper tagged with two pathways counts in both lists. Preprint and journal version are merged where OpenAlex links them; where it does not, both appear.
