Countries citing papers authored by Stephen Spawls
This map shows the geographic impact of Stephen Spawls'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 Stephen Spawls with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Stephen Spawls more than expected).
Fields of papers citing papers by Stephen Spawls
This network shows the impact of papers produced by Stephen Spawls. Nodes represent research fields, and links connect fields that are likely to share authors. Colored nodes show fields that tend to cite the papers produced by Stephen Spawls. The network helps show where Stephen Spawls may publish in the future.
Co-authorship network of co-authors of Stephen Spawls
This figure shows the co-authorship network connecting the top 25 collaborators of Stephen Spawls. A scholar is included among the top collaborators of Stephen Spawls based on the total number of citations received by their joint publications. Widths of edges represent the number of papers authors have co-authored together. Node borders signify the number of papers an author published with Stephen Spawls. Stephen Spawls is excluded from the visualization to improve readability, since they are connected to all nodes in the network.

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.
