dhicks/comp-HOPOS: v1.1

Authors/Creators

Description

This release fixes a substantial error that appeared when combing the gender attributions with the article metadata.

In v1.0, problems with the join logic when combining the results of the gender attribution algorithms (in script 06) meant that ~150 rows in the gender attribution dataframe had NA for both given and family names. All ~150 then matched to NA/NA author names in the article dataframe. The result was a massive inflation in the size of the dataset, and a mean of 26 authors per paper. Anyone familiar with philosophy should recognize this is incorrect.

Fixing the join logic in 06 appears to have solved the problem. Author inflation has disappeared. (In script 07, authors_unfltd has the same number of rows as authors_full.) In the full dataset, about 78% of papers have just 1 author; this is about 92% in the philosophy of science dataset.
