Results Index — Elasmobranch Analytical Methods Review

How the pipeline works

From a bare citation to an answerable question: acquisition, OCR, schema extraction, author and citation enrichment, analysis, and natural-language querying.

The researcher data pipeline: a bare citation flows through acquisition, OCR, extraction, enrichment, and analysis to a natural-language query — Click for the full-resolution PDF (also available as SVG).

Live tools

Interactive pages, built from the current corpus snapshot and served directly from this site.

Overview

Slide deck & speaker notes

The whole project in 17 slides, each with the notes spoken alongside it, so the argument reads end to end without the talk. Also downloadable as a PDF.

Downloads

Publisher & journal index

Every publisher and journal with papers still to acquire, each opening the download helper pre-filtered to that source. Counts update with the queue.

Network

Author Atlas v2

Interactive deck.gl map of ~28,000 authors: geographic clustering, collaboration links, and search by name or institution.

Network

Collaboration Graph v1

Earlier static collaboration-network build (18,633 authors) with a filtered subset view for faster loading.

Validation

Validation UI

Search-by-name author pages (28,952) where researchers can review and correct their own papers' automated extractions.

Report

Validation & Rule-Improvement Report

How the rule-based extractor was scored against human and Claude/Fable-oracle reference labels, and how a self-verifying loop improved it (macro-F1 0.16 → 0.43 on the worst columns).

Acquisition

Team Download Task

Instructions for collaborators to claim publisher batches of the 1,530 remaining paywalled papers via institutional library access.

Key figures

A snapshot gallery of the headline analysis figures. Full-resolution PDFs and the complete figure set (160+ plots) live in outputs/figures/ in the repository.
