  This paper presents a bibliometric analysis that examines the works cited in,
as well as those citing, NIME papers; for brevity, we refer to these as
`references` and `citations`. Utilizing existing tools, we have computationally
extracted data from the NIME proceedings archive and retrieved metadata from an
academic database, including details of associated references and citations.
From this data, we computed a range of metrics and statistics, which we present
in this paper. We offer quantitative insights into NIME as a scholarly
publication venue, its connections to other venues, and its relationship with
various fields of study and authors. Based on our data interpretations, we
provide several recommendations for the community's future. In sharing the
software we developed for this study, and the summarized raw data, we enable
other NIME researchers to conduct more in-depth investigations and examine
specific trends.
