Package lookup
How often each package is loaded by the code behind published papers.
4,565 packages across 13,245 deposits at economics and
political science journals that check an author's code before
publication. A download count rises when a build server installs a
package; a count here rises when somebody publishes a paper that uses
it.

No package matches that.
Deposits counts each deposit once, however many times its
code calls the package. Calls is the raw total.
Share divides by the deposits containing code in that
language, so a Stata share and an R share have different denominators and
should not be read against each other. Repositories splits
the count between the two collections, and the filter narrows to one.
Two things to know before relying on a number. A package can be loaded
by code that never runs, so these are loads and not executions. And both
collections are replication deposits only, so code an author kept out of
the deposit is not counted.
The paper gives the method and
the tables are CC0.
