“…Specifically, the Atla Religion database has the highest coverage among these three databases for all faculty with only three exceptions: one switched her area of study to social sciences and joined another department on campus a few years ago, and Scopus has the highest coverage of her works; the other two have joint appointments with other humanities departments, and WoS has their highest coverage. This finding has confirmed the results of the interdisciplinarity of theology and religious studies, as indicated in previous research [15]. Additionally, for organizations such as CTI, which aims at fostering interdisciplinary research, relying on disciplinespecific databases such as Atla would fail to document the broadness of its scholars' engagement with the social and natural sciences.…”

The scholarly communications ecosystem in theology and religious studies differs significantly from other disciplines. In this paper, we draw on a multi-year investigation at Vanderbilt University as well as a practitioner’s perspective at the Center of Theological Inquiry to document the extent to which existing bibliometric tools fail to capture the full scholarly output of scholars in these subdisciplines. After presenting our findings, we express hope that open-source and crowdsourced bibliometric initiatives based on linked data principles may help to correct existing imbalances and lead toward a more equitable representation of scholarly works in the field of theology and religious studies.
