Countries citing papers authored by Olivier Lourdais

Since Specialization
Citations

This map shows the geographic impact of Olivier Lourdais's research. It shows the number of citations coming from papers published by authors working in each country. You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of citations received by Olivier Lourdais with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Olivier Lourdais more than expected).

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
