| # DataCite Normalized Affiliation Distribution | |
| ## Summary | |
| `normalized_distribution.json` contains one JSON object per normalized affiliation string. It aggregates the total | |
| occurrence count, a ranked list of the raw affiliation strings that collapse into the normalized form, and the | |
| provider/client entities that asserted them. This dataset is derived from the August 2025 DataCite creator/contributor export. | |
| ## Structure | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "normalized": "example university", | |
| "total_count": 314, | |
| "affiliations": [ | |
| {"affiliation": "Example University", "occurrences": 300}, | |
| {"affiliation": "Example Univ.", "occurrences": 14} | |
| ], | |
| "providers": {"unique_total": 5, "counts": {"tib.example": 200, "cdr.sample": 114}}, | |
| "clients": {"unique_total": 4, "counts": {"example.client": 314}} | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Fields | |
