A “good year” for forests changes less than it seems
The rate of tropical primary forest loss fell sharply in 2025, reversing the record highs of the year before. On paper, it looks like progress. In reality, the dip is likely only a temporary reprieve. The decline followed an exceptional year for wildfires. In 2024, drought helped drive some of the largest fire-related losses on […]

Citations among papers indexed by CORA, from 1998, an early computer science research paper search engine. If a paper i cites a paper j also in this data set, then a directed edge connects i to j. (Papers not in the data set are excluded.) Self-loops may be present. The dates of these snapshots are uncertain.
This network has 23166 nodes and 91500 edges.

arxiv_collab: Scientific collaborations in physics (1995-2005)
Collaboration graphs for scientists, extracted from the Los Alamos e-Print arXiv (physics), for 1995-1999 for three categories, and additionally for 1995-2003 and 1995-2005 for one category. For copyright reasons, the MEDLINE (biomedical research) and NCSTRL (computer science) collaboration graphs from this paper are not publicly available.
This network has 8361 nodes and 15751 edges.

arxiv_authors: Arxiv authors (1993-2003)
Scientific collaborations between authors of papers submitted to arxiv.org, under 5 categories: gr-qc, astro-ph, cond-mat, hep-ph, and hep-th categories, spanning January 1993 to April 2003. If an author i co-authored a paper with author j, the graph contains a undirected edge from i to j. If the paper is co-authored by k authors this generates a completely connected (sub)graph on k nodes.
This network has 108300 nodes and 186936 edges.
