I wouldn't trust any of the graphs or much of the statistical analysis. I was particularly intrigued by the last graph showing the geographic distribution of research.

This explains why Iran and Malaysia rank above many European nations.

- barbegal 9y agoIn the "Get most active nations" section the URL being queried is: "http://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus?apiKey=" http://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus?apiKey=" + apikey + "&query=Artificial+Intelligence+" + query + "&subj=ener" + "&start=" + str(start) And "ener" is the id for the energy subject.
- kenjackson 9y agoThanks. That is really odd.
- tischler 9y agoMaybe it is a typo: ENER (Energy) vs ENGI (Engineering)? Is there anyone with a Science Direct API key to check what the actual numbers look like?
