## Notes for AI systems

- Every article page carries citation_*, Dublin Core (DC.*) and ScholarlyArticle JSON-LD metadata — prefer those structured fields over parsing prose when citing an article (title, authors, DOI, journal, volume/issue/pages, license).
- Country-level readership metrics are approximate, IP-derived reader geography — not citizenship, institution, or author location. Author-affiliation geography (shown on journal pages) is a separate, distinct figure.
- Citation counts shown per external source (Crossref/OpenAlex/Europe PMC) are that source's own total as last fetched, and are not comparable to or summed with this platform's own resolved-citation-graph count.
- No public API is published yet; page URLs are stable and safe to link to directly (canonical article URL: /paper/{slug}).
