researchmap.ai

Every AI paper posted to arXiv since 2016, with where its authors work. For each of 647,565 papers in cs.AI, cs.LG, cs.CL, cs.CV, cs.NE, cs.RO, cs.MA and stat.ML, the dataset gives its authors' institutions and countries, its subfield, whether it appeared at one of 18 top conferences, and its citations. It is the data behind researchmap.ai, which maps where AI research is done.

Site and method: researchmap.ai
Covers: papers through 29 October 2026, citations as of 27 October 2026

Configs

Config	Rows	One row per
`papers` (default)	647,842	harvested paper
`authorships`	3,462,906	paper × author × affiliation
`institutions`	15,590	institution on at least one listing
`references`	5,505,833	reference from one paper in the dataset to another
`countries`	2,180	country × year, 2016–2025
`us_university_rd`	6,200	US university × year, 2016–2025

The configs join on paper_id and institution_id (a ROR ID). A null means there is no value. Each table is also a gzipped CSV; 128.0 MB of Parquet in all.

How it was built

Papers. Every paper first posted to arXiv since 1 January 2016 in those categories, as primary category or cross-list, from arXiv's OAI-PMH interface.
Affiliations. Claude Haiku 5.5 read each paper's first page and listed every author's affiliations as printed. An affiliation that doesn't appear in the page text is dropped.
Institutions and countries. Affiliations are matched to the Research Organization Registry and placed in the country the paper prints, so a lab counts where it is, not where its company has its headquarters.
Credit. Each paper counts once, split equally among its authors and then between each author's first two affiliations. 5.7% of the credit can't be placed in a country.
Layers. One of 20 subfields from the title and abstract (the same model); the main track of 18 conferences from official proceedings (DBLP and the conferences' own lists); citations and references from Semantic Scholar, with highly cited meaning the top 10% of a year and subfield; population, GDP and R&D from the World Bank, the OECD and NSF.

Fields

The main columns. The Hub's viewer shows every column and its type.

Column	Meaning
`papers.year`, `published`	year of the arXiv ID, which the site counts; date version 1 was submitted
`papers.subfield`, `subfield_2`	main subfield of 20, and a second one when the paper clearly has one
`papers.venue`, `track`, `main_conference`	the top conference and track that published the paper
`papers.code_or_project_url`, `code`	the first code or project link on page 1, and whether it is a code host
`papers.citations`, `highly_cited`	Semantic Scholar citations; 1 for the top 10% of the year and subfield, a share for ties
`papers.countries`, `credit_placed`	the paper's credit by country, and how much of it is placed
`authorships.affiliation`, `institution_id`	the affiliation as printed, and the ROR record it matched
`authorships.country`, `places`	the country, and where the credit goes (split for a multinational that prints no place)
`authorships.sector`	`academia`, `industry` or `independent`
`authorships.counted`, `credit`	one of the author's first two affiliations, and its share of the paper

Countries are ISO codes for where an affiliation is, never anyone's nationality. Hong Kong and Taiwan are kept as papers print them.

Example paper (rTaste)

Field	Value
`paper_id`, `year`, `published`	`2610.40488`, 2026, 2026-10-29
`primary_category`, `n_authors`	`cs.CL`, 1
`subfield`, `subfield_2`	`agents`, `llm_nlp`
`code`	true: page 1 links to the code
`authorships`	one row: University of Minnesota (`017zqws13`), `US`, `academia`, credit 1.0
`countries`, `credit_placed`	`[{country: US, credit: 1.0}]`, 1.0
`venue`, `citations`	null: too new for a conference list or the monthly citation refresh
