Production Plot

Annual scientific production with an optional secondary line (e.g. citations).

Overview

Plots documents per year as bars, optionally with a second series as a line on a right-hand axis (e.g. mean citations or cumulative output). Titles, axis labels and colours are fully editable, and early sparse years can be merged into a single bucket. Clicking a year sends that year’s documents onward.

Inputs

Data (Table) — bibliographic data (needs a Year column).

Outputs

Selected Documents (Table) — documents of the clicked year(s).

Controls

Bars — the variable shown as bars (usually document count per year).
Line — an optional second variable drawn as a line on the right axis.
Bar color / Line color — series colours.
Title, X axis, Y left, Y right — editable titles/labels.
Bar legend / Line legend — series legend labels.
Show grid / Show legend — toggles.
Merge years before (Cutpoint) — pool all years before this into one bucket, to avoid a long sparse tail.

Tips

For trend topics over time use Top Items Timeline or Trend Topics instead; this widget is for overall production.
