Interpretation prompts

  • Is the cadence steady? If median gap < 3 months, highlight in the discussion as "rapid iteration."
  • Do venue tags climb from workshops to conferences? Mention this trajectory in the EEAT justification.
  • Identify “quiet” quarters—reviewers often ask for reasons behind large gaps.
  • Use ordinal mode when dataset mixes working notes and finalized publications.

Reviewer-ready checklist

  1. Sources locked: Inline citations come directly from your CSV to maintain traceability.
  2. Columns validated: Mapper stops rendering if any selected column is missing.
  3. Sample data: Reuse research-streams-sample.csv for testing.
  4. Exports: Both PNG and SVG reflect your current filters and toggles.
