Anybody would like to analyse other countries, I have data and am happy to help

Google Scholar results are weird, and I haven't found an explanation.

I compared them with OpenAlex (250M scholarly works) and results seem more consistent. E.g., plot below reports the number of hits for 'data' (quite generic term), and the increasing pattern makes sense.

Anyone knows what's behind the plot below?

I searched Google Scholar on basic terms such as 'data', and 'information'. I added 'statistics', 'economic(s)'. After 2013 there's a drop. How's that?

It seems unlikely that the overall number of published articles has dropped, right?
