I now have a survey/data table combo for all of the journals listed on the Philosophy Journal Wiki!
Start filling out surveys regarding your recent submissions, and start spreading the word. Here are some more miscellaneous notes.
- Blank Spaces in the Raw Data Table
Those blank spaces are there because of the tables on the far right of the raw data table that I set up to run calculations. Because there are entries in those first 25 rows on the far right, the survey skips over those row. Raw data from the surveys starts about 25 rows down on the raw data table. When you submit your survey, rest assured that the data is in the data table. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the data table if you want to verify that your survey was entered in. I use the blank spaces for Phil Wiki Imports so you’ll know when a survey has data imported from the Philosophy Journal Wiki. - Gender/Race Questions Not in A Few Journals
When I first started testing this out, I didn’t have race/gender questions in the surveys. If you notice that a survey doesn’t have those questions, it’s because you’re looking at one of the journals surveys I set up in the early rounds of testing. I’ll be going back and fixing this soon. - Coming Soon: Quick Reference Sheet
It’s going to be a pain to click through all of the journal pages to see if they’ve been updated. I’ll be offering up a few ways for users to quickly see which journals have data and which journals have been updated recently.
For now, we’ve got some functional survey/data table combos. Let’s start submitting those surveys, and start spreading the word.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have people also specify the year of first submission, so it would be possible in the future to draw inferences about trends? Just a thought…
Jan,
I asking users to submit recent information, and the surveys stamp each survey with a time and date. In the future, we’ll be able to use that time stamp to draw inferences about trends.
