You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of citations received by Information needs and uses with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Information needs and uses more than expected).
Fields of papers citing Information needs and uses
This network shows the impact of Information needs and uses. Nodes represent research fields, and links connect fields that are likely to share authors. Colored nodes show fields that tend to cite the Information needs and uses.

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.
