Where the papers funded from the United States are cited inside the 400 tracked journals: by country, by institution and by funder, and whose research the papers from the United States cite. A citation link is one paper citing another, both in the tracked journals (from OpenAlex references). The source is the country of the cited paper's funders (OpenAlex funders and their countries); the users are the countries and institutions of the citing paper's authors. A link counts once for each funding country of the cited paper and each country (or institution) of the citing paper, so the rows overlap. Papers without funding information, about half of them, have no source. Also as Markdown.
Since 2023, papers in the tracked journals cited the 17,956 papers funded from the United States 106,280 times (counting each citing country), #2 of 128 funding countries.
23% of the links come from papers with authors in the United States; abroad, the largest users are China (43,932), the United Kingdom (10,585) and Germany (6,402).
The institutions citing this research most are Hong Kong Polytechnic University (1,867), Chinese Academy of Sciences (1,608) and Tsinghua University (1,516).
The United States funders behind the most-cited links are National Science Foundation (32,619), National Institutes of Health (4,936) and National Institute on Aging (3,621).
In turn, papers with authors in the United States draw most on research funded from China (37,269), the United Kingdom (7,476) and Germany (5,450).
