Scope and Data Collection

28 NYSCILIB Attendee Institutions

Scope: 28 New York Based Schools Who Registered to Attend NYSCILIB as of September 24, 2021

Schools of varying Carnegie class sizes from baccalaureate to doctoral

• Data is presented in the aggregate for all schools, and then in 2 groups: doctoral/medical and masters/baccalaureate
• Data comes from the Dimensions database from Digital Science and covers “journal articles/preprints/edited books/book chapters/monographs relating to research, indexed via Crossref, PubMed, PubMed Central, arXiv.org and more than 160 publishers directly.” As well as “awarded grants for research projects, coming from hundreds of different funders from across the globe.”
• So this is decidedly not about just Springer Nature publications and data

Every effort has been made to preserve anonymity
