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).

0.859
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.
29 yr
Median years since first OpenAlex-indexed publication, per unique editor. IQR 21–40.8 yr (spread 19.8 yr), mean 34.4 yr, n = 206. A low median with a small IQR indicates a board clustered in one career stage; a large IQR signals generational mix.
