In the tables presented here (https://osf.io/myaut/), we show data pertaining to publication rates and publication venues across 170 academic disciplines. We model the publication patterns of faculty members at U.S. research universities at different career stages, and in so doing we hope to provide a nuanced and up-to-date reference for faculty members, administrators, and staff charged with interpreting publication outputs across disciplines and in a comparative context. Not all active scholars in any field will follow the same pattern of publication, and not all articles or books are of equal value: these data do not reflect quality measures. Our goal is not to establish a template against which individual scholars should be measured, but to contextualize a general picture of publication patterns representative of each discipline, with the knowledge that there will be notable individual variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
