Example diagram in determination of change in the rate of publishing before and after a genome is published on a single instance of the method. In the method, this would be independently run for all insects. A linear model is fit to the years preceding the genome assembly publishing date, and another linear model is fit to the years proceeding the genome publishing date. The genome assembly publishing year changes from insect to insect. The three years before the publishing year and the three years after the publishing year are not taken into account in the proceeding and preceding analysis, due to possible effects caused by the publishing of the genome assembly itself. Fig. 2 is a hypothetical example where the insect had a genome published in 2010 where the genome assembly was published in 2010. Cutoffs of three years would be 2007 and 2014. The slope from 2000 to 2006 would be compared to the slope from 2014 to 2020. A greater slope would be found in the proceeding model. However, the exact years accounted for would be determined by the publishing year of the insect in question.
