Extraction coverage
What we read of this document, and where each value was read.
Our note Web reader stopped ~p.57
Of the 30 values, 25 were read in the document itself, 3 on a developer summary page that restates it and 2 in an independent write-up that quotes it.
Values read somewhere other than the document stand in where the document's own section could not be read directly, and are flagged on every value (Methodology §2.2).
Developer summary pages used
Independent write-ups used
Of the 30 values, 1 is a statement in words rather than a number; it is marked * and left out of charts by default.
All 30 values were extracted for version 0 of the dataset through a web reader, which did not always reach the later sections of long PDFs (Methodology §3).
