New authors by year

Each author page counted once, in the year of its earliest paper.3 The busiest debut year so far is 2025 (21,573 new authors); the most recent year keeps growing as volumes are ingested.

  1. Affiliations come from the <affiliation> field on author metadata, which the Anthology only began capturing for recent (aclpub2-era) proceedings. 32,345 of 128,619 papers (25%) name at least one affiliation, so coverage skews toward recent years.
  2. Institution names are matched offline against the Research Organization Registry (ROR), which supplies coordinates and organization type. Only affiliations appearing at least 5 times are matched; ambiguous company names use a small manual overrides table. ROR types are collapsed into academic (education), industry (company), government, and other (non-profits, research institutes, healthcare, and the rest). Circle size and sector totals count distinct papers per institution (the set of affiliations on each paper), not individual author listings. Map tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors.
