Field corpus
2026

381 papers that use language models as human stand-ins.

This is the complete corpus behind the field review: every paper, no curation beyond the documented sweep. These are the market's numbers, not ours. Slice it however you want; the table is the same data as the CSV the paper is built on.

Provenance: papers coded from title and abstract against a fixed rubric by a language model (method in the working paper, PDF). The funnel-stage and exclusion-reason columns (which papers reached 104, 24, and 4, and why the rest fell out) are not yet in this table: the screening records are being prepared for release, and the gap is stated here rather than papered over.
