Thank you for this work, it seems like a very important question and the report on the methodology is interesting for anyone considering similar research questions.
My main takeaway here is that these kind of projects should start with a comprehensive literature review (which would be useful in it’s own right) and to follow a specified methodology (which may be biased, but hopefully in a decipherable way).
I’d like to add a future research direction, to test in what cases the philosophical works had been influential. Perhaps there are some guides to how progress in moral philosophy can best influence the world. I think I remember that Bentham had a lot of influence, and Singer surely ;)
