Question

Which works, authors, institutions, and citations form the relevant research record?

Nodes

Scholarly work; Author; Institution; Topic; Source; Citation

Relationship sketch

work → author
work → cited work
author record → candidate person

Evidence inputs

Primary papers, public scholarly metadata such as OpenAlex, verified identifiers, original bibliographic sources.

Implementation

Use scholarly graphs to find literature and provenance, then read the actual work and verify author identity. Retain uncertain matches and separate a paper's claim from its later corroboration.

Acceptance checks

Author matches are reviewed
Cited conclusions match the actual paper scope
Retractions/corrections are checked where material

Do not infer

A citation count or database entry does not prove a research claim or a person's credentials.

Publication boundary

Permitted metadata and citations public; restricted full texts not republished.
