arXiv:2601. 14429v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Open science initiatives have strengthened scientific integrity and accelerated research progress across many fields, but the state of their practice within transportation research remains under-investigated.
arXiv:2509. 25397v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The proliferation of open large language models (LLMs) is fostering a vibrant ecosystem in artificial intelligence (AI).
arXiv:2607. 21327v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bibliometric indicators - citation counts, h-indexes, co-authorship networks - have long anchored science, technology, and innovation (STI) analytics, yet suffer from temporal lag, semantic shallowness, and an inability to capture the non-linear dynamics of contemporary knowledge ecosystems.
arXiv:2606. 16974v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The reproducibility crisis has directed the AI research community toward improving documentation practices.
Drift Inspector is an open‑source system that extracts Atomic Contribution Claims (ACCs) from scientific abstracts using an LLM, then clusters these claims over time to map how a research field evolves. Applied to six years of EMNLP, the tool reveals a shift from classic NLP tasks toward LLM‑era capabilities such as reasoning and multimodality—trends that keyword or whole‑abstract counts miss. The pipeline has also processed the entire ACL Anthology, yielding 346,000 claims from 80,000 abstracts across 423 venues, with human‑validated extraction and clustering aligned to an external taxonomy.
Scientific research increasingly relies on large, heterogeneous data sources, motivating interest in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that provide natural language access to scientific kno...
How does research evolve, and what substrate would let us forecast where it goes next? Scientific progress is not simply a uniform accumulation of facts: ideas extend prior methods, address known limitations, realize proposed future directions, and sometimes dispute earlier claims.

Scientific abstracts mix contributions with background, motivation, and meta-language, so tools that read them as-is cannot separate what a field produces from what it discusses. We present Drift Insp...

The paper introduces an end‑to‑end pipeline that harvests, validates, and models links between scholarly articles and their source code from journals such as JOSS, SoftwareX, and IPOL, as well as SIGMOD ARI reproducibility reports. It produces a curated set of 4,397 DOI‑repository pairs and defines two Wikidata‑based application profiles—one for articles and one for software—aligned with schema.org and CodeMeta. Using these profiles, the authors created 4,182 new Wikidata software items linked to their papers, while only 82 repositories were previously represented, and they demonstrate compatibility with the COAR Notify protocol for future live enrichment.
The paper introduces CodeGraph, an open‑taxonomy knowledge graph that semantically annotates source code by extracting entities such as algorithms, paradigms, design patterns, and application domains from millions of files. Using a specialized large language model and a three‑stage Wikidata linking process, the authors ground these entities in Wikidata and construct a graph with about 158 million nodes and 1 billion typed edges across 14 programming languages. A quality‑assurance protocol combining human evaluation and an LLM‑as‑a‑judge filter quantifies annotation precision.
The paper introduces the Scientific Contribution Graph, a large-scale resource that extracts 6 million scientific contributions from 655 k open-access papers across multiple disciplines and links them with 36 million prerequisite edges. It frames automated technological roadmapping as the task of identifying contributions and their prerequisites, and presents a new scientific prerequisite prediction task where models forecast which existing technologies enable future discoveries. The authors report that current models achieve a 0.48 MAP score on temporally-filtered backtesting, indicating rapid progress in this area.
