We created this dataset and scripts with the research aim to analyze the influence of Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM) research on Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) reports. We analyzed the following research questions (Table 1):

1.    Which IAM researchers have been cited in IPCC WG3 reports?

2.    To what extent are IPCC WG3 reports based on IAM research?

2.1. What share of IPCC WG3 references are authored by any IAM researcher individually?

2.2. How much of the evidence base of IPCC WG3 reports is IAM research?

2.2.1.    What share of IPCC WG3 references are authored by all IAM researchers together?

2.2.2.    How sensitive are the results to different sample sizes of IAM researchers?

2.3. How many IAM researchers are responsible for the majority of IAM research in IPCC reports?

2.4. What share of IPCC WG3 references in each chapter are authored by IAM researchers?

3.    To what extent are IPCC WG3 SPM statements based on IAM research?

4.    How diverse is the sample of IAM research covered in IPCC WG3 reports?


RQs that can be answered using the same dataset:

·     Who are the most cited researchers by IPCC WG3 reports? (Section 1)

·     Which chapters act as knowledge bridges in IPCC reports? Which chapters are most commonly co-cited in the SPM? Which chapters are not well covered in the SPM? (Section 3)

·     What share of evidence in IPCC WG3 reports is attributable to the top 30 most cited researchers? (Section 1 & 2.3)

·     What is the distribution of affiliated institutes for IAM researchers who have been cited in IPCC WG3 reports? (Section 4)

 

RQs that can be answered by modifying the script/files:

·     Who are the most cited researchers in other reports (e.g. UNEP reports)? (Section 1)

·     To what extent has research from another research field (e.g. nuclear energy research) been cited in IPCC WG3 reports? (Section 2.1, 2.2 & 2.4)

·     To what extent has IAM research been covered in other reports (e.g. UNEP reports)? (Section 2.1, 2.2 & 2.4)

·     How diverse is the IAM research covered in IPCC WG3 reports regarding ethnicity and academic experience level? (Section 4)
