Authorship measures looked at gender, institutional
affiliation, location, and author credit (number of
authors per paper and in what order). Tabulations of
these measures allowed for a better understanding of
the make-up of those contributing to SMQ. Editorial
positions were also analyzed including editor, associate
editor, guest editor, section editor, and editorial board
members (reviewers). These positions were measured
by number, gender, and type of editorial position.
Investigation of this information was intended to provide
a better understanding of the leadership and decision
makers connected with SMQ.
