A detailed account of membership statistics of cryonics organizations has been compiled in the Google Sheet [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CW5tyCLp-jGT4ta4k1esDaw-I2eKd7rcI7jhcQEk4NE/ Cryonic members statistics] (although not all organizations share all or any of their membership statistics). A detailed account of patient statistics has been compiled in the Google Sheet [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15Ix7iocvo5WdNgtC3MSkYlyysV95_TrJjK87Z371FrY/ Cryonic patients statistics]. The membership and patient statistics should be updated at the beginning of every year, after the publication of the statistics from last year.
All those external lists are editable, and everyone is encouraged to contribute to them. They are all available in the Google Folder [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zRQIIVmh8Io-Ao5HZV1UtzkWTY61wbFI Cryonics Statistics]. [[User:Mati Roy|Mati Roy]] created and is maintaining all of those Google Sheets. Most of the membership statistics were entered by someone anonymous. A list of papers tracking the development of cryonics is tracked in the GitHub repository [https://github.com/RomanPlusPlus/scientific-progress-towards-cryonics Scientific progress towards cryonics], and is currently maintained by Roman.
The graphs from the [[#Trends|Trends section]] can be updated whenever the relevant external lists are.
While having a graph tracking the [https://github.com/RomanPlusPlus/scientific-progress-towards-cryonics "biggest mass of a successfully cryopreserved tissue/organ/organism by year, kg"] is appealing, it doesn't meaningfully track progress done on brain preservations which pose a series of challenges not present in smaller volumes of tissue as [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eGVzwmr1TDgN9HnDfTZNnzP98-hipHoc/ noted by Mike Darwin]. This can still be found on the Discussion page.
=== Improving types of events Acknowledgement ===The types [[User:Mati Roy|Mati Roy]] created the first version of the timeline of brain preservation published here. [[User:Mati Roy|Mati Roy]] also created and subtypes is maintaining, with the help of other volunteers, all of events the Google Sheets mentioned in the timelines could be more exhaustivesection [[#More information]]. Most of the membership statistics were entered by Marta Sandberg. Mike Darwin contributed a lot of information on notable technological progress. Mike Darwin and Issa Rice provided a lot of useful feedback. Alexey Potapov, Marta Sandberg, as well as others contributed ideas for events to add. The science graph and R&D types could have subtypes for different field of researchtable tracking [https://github.com/RomanPlusPlus/scientific-progress-towards-cryonics Scientific progress towards cryonics] was created by Roman.
