Scopus publication trend data for Figure 1 of "Multi-edge laboratory-XAS for operando and in situ measurement on 3d-transition metals"

This dataset contains the Scopus search strings, raw yearly publication count exports, and derived data used to prepare Figure 1 of the DFG project proposal “Multi-edge laboratory XAS for operando and in situ measurement on 3d-transition metals”. The figure illustrates publication trends relevant to the methodological motivation for simultaneous multi-edge laboratory X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The dataset includes four Scopus TITLE-ABS-KEY searches covering the broader XAS literature, the in situ/operando XAS parent field, explicitly identifiable multi-edge XAS publications, and multimetallic material systems relevant to catalysis and energy storage. Raw Scopus “Analyze search results by year” exports are provided together with derived tab-separated data files used for the indexed growth plot and the multi-edge XAS share relative to the in situ/operando XAS parent field. The data were retrieved from Scopus on 23 June 2026. The counts should be interpreted as conservative trend indicators rather than a complete bibliometric analysis, because relevant studies may not explicitly use the searched terms in title, abstract, or keywords.
