Figure 3.
The flow diagram displays author names linked to publication years, which then connect to recency groups, citation counts, and citation volume categories. Author names appear on the left, followed by the years 2014 to 2025. These connect to recency groups labelled oldest, older, mid, recent, very recent, and most recent. Flows continue to citation counts that range from 12 to 1500 and then extend to citation volume categories labelled low, medium, and high. All elements appear in a left to right sequence showing how each author's publication year relates to recency, citation counts, and overall citation volume.Previous contributions with citation volume in high low and medium categories
