Figure 4
The horizontal axis is labeled with years from 1976 to 2025 in increments of 1 unit. The graph has two vertical axes. The vertical axis on the left is labeled “Publications” and ranges from 0 to 450 in increments of 50 units. The vertical axis on the right is labeled “Citations” and ranges from 0 to 14,000 in increments of 2,000 units. The graph shows vertical bars and a curve. A legend at the bottom states that the bar represents “Publications” and the curve represents “Citations.” The curve begins at (1975, 150) and remains flat until 2000. It then gradually rises and passes through the points (2017, 2,058) and (2023, 10,423). It peaks at (2024, 14,320) and ends at (2025, 3,788). The data for the bars are as follows: 1976: 15. 1977: 5. 1978: 8. 1979: 12. 1980: 15. 1981: 17. 1982: 12. 1983: 5. 1984: 5. 1985: 5. 1986: 5. 1987: 5. 1988: 5. 1989: 5. 1990: 5. 1991: 18. 1992: 5. 1993: 5. 1994: 17. 1995: 18. 1996: 15. 1997: 15. 1998: 20. 1999: 21.5. 2000: 17. 2001: 24. 2002: 30. 2003: 26. 2004: 34.5. 2005: 35. 2006: 35. 2007: 44. 2008: 30. 2009: 45. 2010: 52. 2011: 71. 2012: 71. 2013: 71. 2014: 81. 2015: 86. 2016: 99. 2017: 127. 2018: 165. 2019: 170. 2020: 212. 2021: 242. 2022: 311. 2023: 347. 2024: 500. 2025: 118.
