Mean h-index

Hong Kong Polytechnic University ranks #26 among 5,283 institutions. 1,689 positions across 980 journals. 1,002 editors. 30.5% female (below avg 33%). Mean h-index: 22.7 (above avg 22.5).

Gender distribution

Low gender-inference coverage: only 54.7% of editors here have an inferred gender. The 30.5% figure is a share of the classifiable minority, not of the whole board. Typically caused by CJK-script names (Chinese / Korean / Taiwanese) that the WGND 2.0 dictionary cannot disambiguate.

30.5% female · 69.5% male (of 548 resolved; global avg 33%)

Each editor counted once at this entity (composite identity key). Gender is inferred from the first name — not self-reported — and coverage drops for non-Latin-script names, which inflates the "unknown" bar in some countries.

Board diversity

Per-editor diversity indicators. Each editor is counted once (composite identity key). The Shannon column uses Pielou's normalisation J = H / ln(k), bounded in [0, 1]. See the methodology for full definitions, use cases, and references (Shannon 1948; Pielou 1966; Jost 2006).

Field diversity
0.784
Pielou's J over OpenAlex scientific fields. High values mean this entity's editors span many disciplines (a broad multidisciplinary footprint); low values mean they cluster in one field. Especially informative for institution pages, where the country and org_type Shannons are trivially zero.
Seniority (academic age)
22 yr
Median years since first OpenAlex-indexed publication, per unique editor. IQR 10–32 yr (spread 22 yr), mean 22.7 yr, n = 814. A low median with a small IQR indicates a board clustered in one career stage; a large IQR signals generational mix.
