Walmart affiliation check

The 2021–2025 source corpus contains 187 articles and reviews linked to Walmart. The original collaboration analysis excludes works with more than 50 authors, and one 2022 record, W4223487063, has 295 authors. Under that rule 186 records remain.

Of those 186, 8 also list a reviewed Arkansas university affiliation: 5 from Fayetteville, 1 from UA Little Rock, 1 from UAMS and 1 from Arkansas State.

All eight records contain separate authorship entries for a Walmart affiliation and an Arkansas university affiliation. The plan describes these works as ones that also list an Arkansas university affiliation. Source author identifiers are incomplete, so comparing authorship entries in this way does not confirm that they belong to distinct people.

These are observations of organizational affiliation as mapped in the source data. They do not establish where Walmart's work took place, an operating partnership, current data access or sponsored research activity.

The public work identifiers used as controls, the source and code hashes, the author-count rule and the geography rules are recorded with this check. Author identities and raw affiliation strings are not published.
