Y-axis: mean or median of OpenAlex cumulative citations (through each grant’s funding_commencement_year) for the lead investigator (Discovery chief investigator; DECRA / other fellowship holder).
X-axis: funding commencement year (from 2010 onward, matching enrichment). Filter by FoR codes (same hierarchy as other Discovery tools).
Method: Citations are from OpenAlex author profiles, summing per-calendar-year cited_by_count entries up to and including the grant’s funding commencement year (not identical to Google Scholar).
Grants without a lead ORCID or with no OpenAlex match show as empty and are omitted from the mean/median for that year.
Only grants with funding_commencement_year ≥ 2010 are included in the chart and in the enrichment script by default (--min-funding-year).
FoR filter: a grant is included if for_all_codes contains a code consistent with the selection (6-digit exact; 4-digit prefix; 2-digit division).
Discovery data: arc_discovery_projects_2010_2026_with_for_lead_citations.csv (lead = first chief investigator ORCID).
Fellowship data: arc_fellowships_lead_citations.csv (lead = first fellowship holder ORCID). The chart groups fellowships using scheme_name: DECRA = Discovery Early Career Researcher Award; other fellowships = Future, Laureate, and Industry Laureate. Build both with python scripts/lead_ci_citations_openalex.py and python scripts/sync_site_assets.py.
