CHIZU — the atlas of coffee research

Coffee research in Uganda

395papersPapers with at least one author affiliated in Ugandaout of 190,643 searchable papers / index as of 2026-08-03

Two limits come with this count. Only 100,474 of the 190,643 searchable papers (52.7%) carry an author affiliation country. The other 90,169 (47.3%) carry none. So these 395 papers are 395 out of the 100,474 whose affiliation is known. And a co-authored paper is counted once for every country its authors sit in. Per-country counts therefore do not add up to the whole.

Uganda is a coffee-producing country.

Years before 1600 are treated as unknown. The upstream data (OpenAlex) sometimes writes 1400 when the year is missing, and that is a placeholder, not a measurement.

Which stage of coffee

Only 30.2% of the whole index carries a stage label. Of this country's 395 papers, 126 carry one. The breakdown below is about those 126 papers only — the rest were never candidates for it.

One paper can carry several labels, so the breakdown adds up to more than that number.

Which field

Only 75.9% of the whole index carries a field label. Of this country's 395 papers, 334 carry one. The breakdown below is about those 334 papers only — the rest were never candidates for it.

One paper can carry several labels, so the breakdown adds up to more than that number.

What language

"undetermined" means the upstream record carried no language. We did not guess one.

Knowledge is not evenly spread

Counting only papers whose author affiliation is known, the largest is Indonesia with 22,248. Uganda has 395 — a factor of 56.

That gap does not follow where coffee is grown. Research gathers where the means to do research are, not where the coffee is. Making that visible is why CHIZU exists.
