Data sources & method

Paper metadata (title, authors, year, DOI, pages) is harvested from DBLP; abstracts, citation counts, and topic concepts come from Semantic Scholar. Duplicates across venues (e.g., a RA-L paper presented at ICRA) are collapsed via DOI + (normalized title, year) matching, with journals taking priority over conferences.

Citation counts change over time — the exact data date is shown in the header of every view and in the Excel summary sheet.
