Pages published by Royal Society journals 1880-2010

This spreadsheet contains a data series for the number of pages of content in the Royal Society's two major research journals: the Philosophical Transactions (both A and B series, after 1887) & Proceedings of the Royal Society (both A and B series, after 1905). Data is derived from a spreadsheet maintained by RS staff, of the page count for each issue of each journal; which was transformed into annual counts for each journal by St Andrews IT staff. NB this is a count of editorial pages of content published, not of number of copies of pages printed (i.e. it cannot be used to estimate print production costs, unless combined with print-run data - and print-run data is very sketchy...) This is the data for Figure 2b of my 2022 paper 'From philanthropy to business' https://doi.org/10.1098/rsnr.2022.0021 Fuller data - for a longer period of time, and with a breakdown by journal title - is available in a separate dataset.本电子表格收录了英国皇家学会（Royal Society）两大核心学术期刊的内容版面数统计序列：分别为1887年起的《皇家学会哲学学报》（Philosophical Transactions）A、B辑，以及1905年起的《皇家学会会报》（Proceedings of the Royal Society）A、B辑。数据源自RS工作人员维护的电子表格，该表统计了每种期刊每期的版面页数；圣安德鲁斯大学信息技术人员将其转换为各期刊的年度版面统计数据。注：本统计仅涵盖已刊发内容的编辑版面页数，而非印刷页的副本数量；换言之，除非结合印刷量数据，否则无法用于估算印刷生产成本——且印刷量数据极为零散。本数据集对应我2022年发表的论文"From philanthropy to business"（DOI链接：https://doi.org/10.1098/rsnr.2022.0021）中的图2b。另有包含更长时间跨度、且可按期刊名称细分的完整数据集，可通过独立数据集获取。
