Figure 2
The horizontal axis is labelled Year and lists 2012 through 2025. The left vertical axis is labelled Number of Documents and ranges from 0 to 2000 with tick marks at 500 intervals. The right vertical axis is labelled Number of Citations and ranges from 0 to 3.5 times 10 to the power of 4, with the multiplier shown as times 10 to the power of 4. The legend identifies blue bars as Publications and a black line with circular markers as Citations. Publications remain at zero from 2012 to 2016, begin with a very small value in 2017, increase slightly in 2018 and 2019, then rise steadily through 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and reach the highest value in 2025 at about 1700 documents. Citations remain close to zero from 2012 to 2017, increase gradually in 2018, 2019, and 2020, then rise sharply through 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, reaching the highest value in 2025 at about 3.1 times 10 to the power of 4 citations.Trends in paper publications (blue bars) and citations (black line) in the field of deep learning in geotechnical engineering from 2012 to 2025
