Does anyone have statistics about FEniCS, like the number of downloads per year and the number of papers per year that used FEniCS in the last decade?
Thanks
Number of downloads per year is quite tricky as it is cross platform and installation system.
Some stats:
- FEniCS-dolfin on conda forge has been downloaded 262910 times. It is not a super accurate result, as conda is used on CI by many people.
- FEniCS-dolfinx on conda forge is downloaded 88483 times. Same comment about accuracy.
- Legacy dolfin has 116 forks.
- DOLFINx has 135 forks and 453 stars.
- The discourse form has been 30-40k clicks every month, with a total of 2441 registered accounts.
- The FEniCS book has 3189 citations
- Other relevant papers are: The FEniCS project version 1.5 with 2183 citations and the FEniCS tutorial 1 (2017) with 246 citations.
- Of newer publications (DOLFINx), the two papers usually cited are: Basix: a runtime finite element basis evaluation library from 2022 with 21 citations and Construction of arbitrary order finite element degree-of-freedom maps on polygonal and polyhedral cell meshes from 2022 with 22 citations.
