SciEngine ranks #42 among 48 publishers. 662 positions across 12 journals. 662 editors. 22.4% female (below avg 33%). Mean h-index: 20.4 (below avg 22.5). 41% open access.

Gender distribution

Low gender-inference coverage: only 38.5% of editors here have an inferred gender. The 22.4% 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.

22.4% female · 77.6% male (of 255 resolved; global avg 33%)

Each editor is 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 at this entity (composite identity key). The Shannon columns use Pielou's normalisation J = H / ln(k) so values are comparable across entities with different numbers of categories. See the methodology for full definitions, use cases, and references (Shannon 1948; Pielou 1966; Jost 2006).

0.198
Pielou's J over ROR country distribution. 0 = all editors from one country, 1 = perfectly even across every country present. MDPI sits higher than Elsevier here; compare against the top-countries bar to see which countries drive the spread.
0.915
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.
0.471
Pielou's J over the ROR org_type field (education, healthcare, facility, government, nonprofit, company, archive). Low values mean editors come overwhelmingly from one kind of institution — usually universities, which account for about 81% of the editors with a known institution type dataset-wide. Higher values indicate editorial boards that reach into clinical practice, public labs, industry, or scientific societies.
24 yr
Median years since first OpenAlex-indexed publication, per editor. IQR 16–32 yr (spread 16 yr), mean 23.6 yr, n = 284. A low median with a small IQR indicates a board clustered in one career stage; a large IQR signals generational mix.
