The newest quarters keep growing for months as journals and conferences publish and OpenAlex indexes them, so a recent dip is not a slowdown. Papers listed with only a year are counted in the totals above but not in this chart.

Companies working with Arizona researchers
Companies with at least one co-author on an Arizona paper in the last 12 months. Tap a name to see the papers they worked on.
Papers come from OpenAlex, a free, open index of the world's research run by the nonprofit OurResearch. Its data is public domain (CC0). This page is refreshed from it every week.
A paper counts when at least one author lists one of these Arizona organizations: Arizona State University, University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University, Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Barrow Neurological Institute, Banner Health, Banner Sun Health Research Institute, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Planetary Science Institute, Critical Path Institute, Lowell Observatory, Phoenix Children's.
Fields follow OpenAlex's own topics for each paper. Robotics, chips and quantum computing are fixed lists of its topics. AI in health covers its AI-in-medicine topics and papers whose main subject is medicine or health care that also use AI. AI covers the rest of its artificial intelligence and computer vision topics. Journal articles, conference papers, preprints, reviews and book chapters are included; retracted papers are not.
OpenAlex matches authors to organizations and topics automatically, so a paper can occasionally be filed under the wrong field or miss an Arizona author. Each paper links to its original source so you can check.
