Software health, not citations: GitHub/GitLab stars and last-commit date for each tool’s canonical source repo, as a point-in-time snapshot (2026-06-30). Bars in the last-commit chart show how recently each repo was touched — active, stale, archived or gone. Star bars are tinted to match each tool’s citation line above.

Use cumulative view for long-run adoption and annual view for citation momentum; log scale makes smaller tools readable without changing the counts. Counts are annual OpenAlex cited-by tallies and reflect all uses of each paper, not only use inside the selected workflow; broad tools can therefore look larger than workflow-specific methods. The still-filling current year (2026) is omitted from the lines.

The leading AMR reference databases tool is recomputed for each complete calendar year by cumulative citations — a 1-way hand-off across 14 years.

How this is tracked
Cohort6 curated AMR reference databases tools
MetricCitations to each tool’s canonical method paper, counted by the citing paper’s publication year
MeasurementAnnual cited-by counts from OpenAlex (cites: grouped by year when available; counts_by_year fallback when the grouped endpoint is budget-limited)
Update cadenceWeekly automated re-count · latest snapshot 2026-06-25
Scope caveatCitation totals span every field that cites the paper, not only use inside the selected workflow — read them as overall reach
Recent-year caveatThe current year (2026) is still accruing citations, so it is dropped from the trend lines
