← Analytics overview

Research status

Where character, system, and queer-reading records currently sit in the Press Q research workflow.

01 · What it means

Category definition

Research status makes unfinished work visible through stages such as identified or queued, in research, reviewed, and needs verification.

02 · How it is counted

Calculation

Character, queer-system, and queer-reading records are combined only for this workflow view. Each record contributes to one status, with blank or unrecognized values shown as Not recorded.

03 · Read carefully

Interpretation

Reviewed means the record passed the project’s current review stage; it does not mean the evidence can never change or that the archive is complete.

—Records analyzed

Percentage base: all character, queer-system, and queer-reading records.

—Categories represented

Includes Not recorded when values are missing.

—Category assignments

Normally matches the record total when every field is classified.
