Niche
AI Drug Discovery: 19 open-source systems measured weekly
Evidaxis measures 19 systems in AI Drug Discovery every week. In snapshot 2026-w39 (2026-09-26) the niche median is 0 commits per week, 433 citations to date (on the 19 systems with a citation count) and 5 direct dependents (on the 2 systems with a dependents reading). Systems at 2× the niche median or more: 7. Medals here compare citations only: a medal needs at least 5 systems in the niche with that figure and a median of 3 or more. Rising: none.
