Terminology trend analyses

We made use of the Dimensions[2] integrated research discovery and analytics platform to investigate usage trends of selected terms in English-language academic literature over time (Figures 2 and 3) , and we explored terminology usage frequencies in the wider English-language literature using Google Books Ngram Viewer[3] (Figure 1). Later, we made use of the SciSpace[4] AI-powered research assistant platform to locate a sample of very recent academic publications investigating generative AI and culture, and to group these publications by theme (Figure 4).  (These counts and trends should be read as indicative rather than exhaustive, given coverage biases across publishers, language, and time, and the fact that database curation and indexing practices can shift what is, and is not, represented.)
