Generate figures that visualize patterns in an academic literature: publication trends, citation landmarks, journal distributions, thematic evolution, method timelines, and coverage gap maps. Uses Corbis search data and Python/matplotlib.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Literature Landscape

Generate publication-ready figures that visualize the structure and evolution of an academic literature. These figures appear in survey papers, dissertation chapters, grant proposals, and paper introductions to motivate research gaps.

## When to use

- The user wants to visualize trends in a field (publication volume, citation patterns, thematic shifts)
- The user has completed a literature search (via `/lit-review` or `/lit-search`) and wants figures
- The user wants to identify research gaps visually (the coverage gap map)
- The user is writing a survey or lit review chapter and needs landscape figures

## Prerequisites

Requires Python with `matplotlib`, `pandas`, and `numpy`. If not installed:

```bash
pip install matplotlib pandas numpy
```

## Available figure types

| Key | Figure | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| `timeline` | Publication timeline | Papers per year, optionally stacked by journal |
| `citations` | Citation landmark chart | Scatter of year vs. citations, top papers labeled |
| `journals` | Journal distribution | Horizontal bars: which outlets publish most on the topic |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentic-assets/corbis-literature-starter-kit/literature-landscape@sha256:964297e2dcfd5ee4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.4ba04d6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
