Sometime in the next few years I hope to get a grant and research assistant to provide a deeper analysis of the data with the hopes of answering questions such as (1) which topics are trending each year and over the ten year period, (2) what impact does sex/gender have on publication rate, (3) what impact does status as a tenured professor vs. as a non-tenured professor have on publication rate, (4) do those who've graduated from a top 20-ranked PhD program publish more frequently than those who didn't, (5) who's the most prolific author each year, (6) etc.
