Research Impact Ledger

Google Scholar only sees papers. Most of what I ship is software, benchmarks, datasets and writeups. This page is a self-hosted research-impact ledger: it tracks scholarly citations (OpenAlex + Crossref), repository usage (GitHub), artifact downloads (Hugging Face) and web mentions, and gives every serious project a persistent, citable identity.

Google Scholar has no public API, so it is the one source that is not queried automatically. My profile's "new citations" email alerts cover the scholarly side; anything worth recording is logged in the ledger by hand. Google Scholar profile →

Persistent identifier: ORCID 0009-0005-4120-555X — stamped into every CITATION.cff and Zenodo deposit below, so the works attribute to me automatically.

Last updated October 6, 2026. Usage metrics refresh automatically; citations are detected by the daily ledger job.

Tutorials & articles

These are writeups with no standalone code artifact, so they are tracked as web artifacts (search/mentions rather than DOI citations).

How this ledger works

Every artifact below flows through the same pipeline: GitHub → CITATION.cff → Zenodo → DOI → OpenAlex / Crossref → this ledger. Each repo is tagged (v1.0.0) and archived on Zenodo, which mints a concept DOI (stable, always resolves to the latest version) plus a version DOI per tagged release. A scheduled job queries each detector, writes a cache, and alerts me when something new appears.

The ledger itself lives at _data/research_impact.yml and the detectors at scripts/research_impact/.
