Every count here is the whole corpus. The list pages show less — they are bounded by a rolling window of the newest 20,000 papers plus everything that has earned attention.

What we hold

Of 2,165,899 papers, how many carry each field. A preprint has an arxiv id and no doi; a doi is what every enrichment stage is keyed on, and an issn is what journal discovery runs on.

Pipeline stages

How far each stage has got through the same 2,165,899 papers. Every column behind these stays null until its stage reaches the row, so a short bar is a stage that is behind — and an empty one is a stage that has never run at all, which is not the same thing and used to be invisible.

Ingestion queue

A sweep hit usually names a paper we do not hold, so it queues until a resolver fetches it by the id the link named. 225,999 discussions name 186,855 distinct papers, of which 186,200 are worth an api call — the rest have hit the retry cap or are backed by nothing but mirror accounts.

by id — the two resolvers get separate budgets, because arxiv wants three seconds between batches and openalex answers fifty in a hundred milliseconds

doi    162,621  ████████████████████
arxiv   65,378  ████████

by attempts — three and a key leaves the queue, so a bar on the right is the part of it that is dying
