Research Landscape Atlas

A reproducible workflow for mapping scientific funding, institutions, and the questions a field chooses to pursue.

The question

Scientific fields are shaped not only by discoveries, but by the questions institutions decide to fund. This project asks how we can make that structure visible without flattening it into a leaderboard.

The approach

The atlas combines public award data, transparent inclusion decisions, and a reproducible analysis pipeline. The goal is not prediction. It is an inspectable map that helps researchers identify concentration, neglected questions, and changes over time.

What I am learning

The most important part of a research map is often its boundary. Making inclusion criteria explicit creates a more useful artifact than adding another layer of visual polish.
