Data and Methods

Open Editors collects publicly available information about the editors and editorial boards of scholarly journals through a technique called webscraping, whereby a script accesses the websites of the publishers to extract the relevant information. The codes (programmed in R) are available at GitHub.

Currently, only journals of the following 26 publishers were taken into account:

Allied Academies (part of OMICS, is probably predatory)
American Psychological Association (APA)
American Society of Chemical Engineers (ASCE)
BioMedCentral
Brill
Cambridge University Press (CUP)
eLife
Elsevier
Emerald
Frontiers
Hindawi
IGI Global
iMedPub (part of OMICS, is probably predatory)
Inderscience
John Benjamins
Karger
Longdom (part of OMICS, is probably predatory)
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
PeerJ
Pleiades
Public Library of Science (PLOS)
Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)
SAGE
Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP, is probably predatory)
SciTechnol (part of OMICS, is probably predatory)
Springer Nature

For more details, please see the paper which outlines the method and data sample with greater precision. It also discusses issues of diversity and intersectionality; of linking the dataset with PIDs (persistent identifiers) such as ORCID and ROR; and of current limitations regarding the scope and coverage of the data.

The whole data dump – two CSV-files of ca. 128 MB – is available at GitHub (in the "Output"-folder and the 2022-subfolder).
