CHIZU — the atlas of coffee research

Coffee research in Zimbabwe

60papersPapers with at least one author affiliated in Zimbabweout 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 60 papers are 60 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.

Zimbabwe is a coffee-producing country.

1997–2026

Papers per year for ZimbabweBar chart from 1997 to 2026. The tallest year has 12 papers.19972026

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 60 papers, 24 carry one. The breakdown below is about those 24 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 60 papers, 43 carry one. The breakdown below is about those 43 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. Zimbabwe has 60 — a factor of 371.

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.
