Figure 3
The figure consists of a line graph with circular markers. The horizontal axis represents years, and from left to right, the markings are “2001”, “2007”, “2008”, “2009”, “2011”, “2013”, “2014”, “2015”, “2016”, “2017”, “2018”, “2019”, “2020”, “2021”, “2022”, “2023”, and “2024”. The vertical axis represents the numerical count of publications and ranges from 0 to 14 in increments of 2 units. The legend at the bottom indicates a solid line with circular markers for “Count of Year”. The data from the graph is as follows: The solid line begins at (2001, 1), remains steady at (2007, 1), then rises upwards to (2008, 2), (2009, 5), and decreases downwards to (2011, 3). It then rises to (2013, 4), decreases to (2014, 1), and steadily rises upwards through (2015, 4) to reach a local peak at (2016, 8). The line then decreases to (2017, 4), rises to (2018, 6), and drops significantly to (2019, 2). From this point, it sharply rises upwards through (2020, 5) and (2021, 10) to reach its absolute peak at (2022, 13). Finally, the line terminates by decreasing downwards to (2023, 7) and (2024, 6).
