NanoTrans Index · Measure
In developmentWhich publications does AI cite?
NanoTrans Index measures which publications and articles the major AI answer engines cite as sources. Measurement can start from the outside, with no integration on your side.
Method
The same questions, asked the same way, again and again
Topic question panels
We split topics such as semiconductors, cars and finance, and build panels of questions real users would ask. Core questions stay fixed so trends can be compared.
Answers from major AI engines
We regularly ask the same questions through the official web search APIs of major AI providers, and keep the full answers and cited sources.
Sources mapped to publications and articles
Cited URLs are matched to publications and articles, and citations are aggregated by topic, engine and period.
