🔐 Risk Score Calculation Guide

Overview

The Author Risk Score is a numerical indicator that helps identify potential research security concerns based on affiliations with entities of interest. The score is calculated by matching author and institution names against a curated list of keywords associated with foreign military, defense, and sanctioned organizations.

How It's Calculated

📊 Scoring Method

Each occurrence of a risk keyword found in an author's affiliations adds +1 to the total score. The system scans:

  • Raw affiliation strings from the publication
  • Institution display names
  • All author affiliation data associated with the work

Important Notes

  • Not a determination of wrongdoing: A high score indicates potential security concerns that warrant further investigation, not evidence of illegal activity.
  • Context matters: Some affiliations may be historical, joint programs, or legitimate academic collaborations.
  • Click any risk score in the publications table to see the detailed breakdown of which keywords matched.
  • Keyword matching: The system uses both exact matching and relaxed matching for longer organization names to catch variants and abbreviations.
