Researcher Density Board Screensaver
The Researcher Density Board screensaver ranks real researchers in R&D per million people by country. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Researcher Density Board screensaver works
The saver reads real researchers in R&D per million people data from the World Bank's own open data API.
Countries are ranked by their real latest reported researcher density.
The pipeline refreshes as the World Bank republishes the underlying dataset.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A real country's most recent reported researcher density is ranked against the real others, with bars easing into place as the board loads.
