Output—

No output score is available yet. Publication and preprint counts for this researcher are not sufficient to compute one. This axis would measure total research volume across venues, output formats, and years.

Impact—

No impact score is available yet; citation-based indicators are absent from the current snapshot. This axis would measure citation influence, uptake, and scholarly reach of the published work.

Focus100/100

Focus scores 100, the maximum: the only field-classified record in the snapshot maps to a single field, human-computer interaction / AI agent studies. Both 2026 cataloged papers reinforce that coherence — one applies Value Sensitive Design to delegation in everyday AI agent use, the other studies mental health self-disclosure visibility — and both are built on Reddit data, indicating a consistent platform-and-values research agenda.

Collaboration48/100

The collaboration dimension scores 48. The available bibliometric data records 10 distinct coauthors, with Lingyao Li, Shanting Chen, Chen Chen, Fan Yang, Yuanyuan Lei, Ruyuan Wan, and Xuan Lu recurring across cataloged records. This is a compact, stable network: both known papers are first-authored, suggesting Renkai Ma leads projects supported by a consistent core team rather than a wide rotating set of partners. The mid-range score reflects network breadth, not output volume.

Activity—

No activity score is available yet; recent-year publication velocity cannot be computed from the current data. This axis would measure ongoing output and research engagement over recent years.

Reproducibility55/100

Reproducibility scores 55, computed from a single assessed paper (1 paper, mean 55). Evolve rates the OpenClaw study's reproducibility readiness as medium: the analysis of 73k Reddit posts is described as statistically careful and uses LLM-assisted content analysis, but the review cautions that the fulfillment-outcome link risks circularity, which could complicate independent replication. With one assessed paper, this score is provisional and should be read as an early-stage indicator.

Research summary

Renkai Ma is a researcher at Pennsylvania State University working in human-computer interaction and AI agent studies, with first-authored arXiv preprints appearing in 2026. The Evolve catalog lists two such papers, both built on large-scale Reddit data. The first, 'Value-Sensitive Delegation in Everyday AI Agent Use: Evidence from OpenClaw,' applies Value Sensitive Design with LLM-assisted content analysis to 73k Reddit posts; Evolve's review concludes that values attach to delegation conditions rather than to agent outputs, credits the careful statistics, and cautions that the fulfillment-outcome link risks circularity, rating reproducibility readiness as medium. The second, 'How Mental Health Self-Disclosure Becomes Visible,' examines how disclosure becomes visible across eight conditions on Reddit and is not yet reviewed. Radar scores show maximal focus (100), with all classified records in a single field; moderate collaboration (48) across 10 distinct coauthors; and a provisional reproducibility score (55) from one assessed paper. Output, impact, and activity are not yet scored. Frequent collaborators include Lingyao Li, Shanting Chen, Chen Chen, Fan Yang, Yuanyuan Lei, Ruyuan Wan, and Xuan Lu. The result is an early-stage but coherent profile centered on values, disclosure, and delegation in everyday, platform-mediated AI use.

Collaboration pattern

Renkai Ma's known papers are first-authored, supported by a compact network of 10 distinct coauthors in the available data (collaboration score: 48). The most recurring partners are Lingyao Li, Shanting Chen, Chen Chen, Fan Yang, Yuanyuan Lei, Ruyuan Wan, and Xuan Lu, several of whom appear on multiple records. The pattern suggests a stable core team enabling large-scale Reddit analyses rather than a broad, transient set of collaborators.

About this profile

This profile is AI-structured by Evolve.Pub from public bibliographic data (OpenAlex) and Evolve's own paper reviews. It is not written or endorsed by the researcher unless the profile is claimed. Radar dimensions are computed from real bibliometrics with fixed formulas — raw figures are shown alongside; missing dimensions mean insufficient data, never zero. Errors? Claim the profile to correct or hide it.

  • Bibliometric scores and co-author counts derive from OpenAlex-based bibliometric data only and may undercount output not indexed there.
  • Output, impact, and activity dimensions lack sufficient data and are not scored; no citation indicators are available in this snapshot.
  • Only one cataloged paper carries a full Evolve review verdict and reproducibility assessment; the second paper is not yet reviewed.
  • This profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data (ORCID 0000-0002-4434-2235) and the Evolve catalog; no biographical information is included.
