Open · Provenance-tracked · Bilingual

A provenance-tracked map of Canadian metaresearch.

Define a cohort of Canadian research works, count it exactly, export it, and cite it. Every record carries why it was retrieved: four checkable metadata routes over a frozen OpenAlex frame, not a keyword list.

Coverage holds within the frame. A work absent from covered sources, or lacking every detectable Canadian signal, is outside what this design can estimate.
