Closing out 2023
According to our database, this year in our academic research section we ve eyeballed, aggregated and listed 6,755 peer reviewed climate-connected research articles, with 42,629 involved investigators and published in 215 journals. Demonstrating both the tight continuity and integration of the overall climate research enterprise as well as climate consilience in plain sight, this year s new reports established their respective new research launching points by citing 360,902 previous works. Nearly 63% of new work this year was available as open access in one form or another, a solid win for climate communications.

Housekeeping
A reader mentioned (thank you!) that last week s edition included at least one paper flagged as open access that actually wasn t. It seems to be the case that Nature Publishing is passing some duff data into the publication metadata food chain, with the result that Unpaywall (we employ the Unpaywall API to identify open access) is repeating this erroneous input to us. This week s edition finds direct links to open access articles from Nature journals still not working, but PDF links appear to be working properly.
