Academic Publishing I: Prestige Data

Metadata on institutional affiliation for 5,000+ academic articles published in four prestige journals within the humanities (PMLA, Critical Inquiry, New Literary History, Representations). Included in the metadata are the author’s institutional affiliation at time of publication, the author’s PhD institution, and the author’s gender. 3,500 authors are represented from close to 350 PhD-granting institutions and 725 authorial institutions. We also include supplementary data on gender and publication on another ~3,800 articles published since 2010 in 16 further journals.
