Works over time
Plot how attention to a work or group moved across the journals. Add works or groups, compare them against each other, or switch to the field comparison to see where philosophy and classics journals diverge.
Solid lines are reliable; dashed lines are partial. A dashed series resolves below 80%, meaning much of its citation traffic could not be tied to a specific passage. The citations shown are as accurate as any other — the dash marks coverage, not correctness — but the missing mass is uneven across years, so read the shape rather than the height. Each legend entry states its placement rate. See methods for what that means.
Each bar counts how often a work is cited across the ten journals. The solid bar is what we could place with confidence — a floor. For many short dialogues, far more citations exist but can't be pinned to one work, because their page-numbers collide with others; that uncertain mass trails off as a fade rather than a false number.
Attention over time
On author colouring: works are grouped by the reference edition their citations use — Stephanus pagination (indigo) or Bekker pagination (teal) — which is how the scholarship addresses them, not a position on authorship. Several works in each corpus are of disputed or rejected authenticity; they are coloured by the edition that paginates them, as traditionally ascribed, and no claim about who wrote them is intended.
