The quiet cost of the unread paper
Authors
Abstract
Publication is not dissemination, and a literature nobody can navigate is a literature that does not function. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
