@psforscher we can move the discussion here from #33. I just wrote some code to extract the concept tags in a usable format and I could try to filter the general journals for the behavioural science keywords before SIPS, if you think it would be interesting / worth. However, this brings up more questions:
"psych*"
and "econ*"
be sufficient for the short term? I feel like this decision will inherently be subjective and necessarily lets some other concepts behind. There are also conceptual problems, even with the psychology tag, these journals frequently have "neuropsychology", but does that fall within behavioural science? I'd think not but that's the kind of subjective decision we would need to take and that complicates the filtering process (include psychology, but not if it also includes the word "neuro"?).very good points. i think you've convinced me that filtering is not appropriate. here is what i propose instead:
this will clarify that "General" is really general-interest journals and is there as a comparison to behavioral science (the main focus of the dashboard)
mm, i see you suggest eliminating "All Fields". i could see doing that, but i do want something that focuses on behavioral science specifically. i therefore lean toward keeping it but could be convinced that the graphs are just too hard to interpret
i think you've convinced me that filtering is not appropriate.
Then I will close this issue for now. We can reopen later if we change our mind in the future.
That said, the data provided by OpenAlex includes some topics tags, e.g.,
Perhaps it would be possible to filter all the general journal data for behavioural science-related tags? Again, I'm not sure if this is realistic in time for SIPS, but something to think about for the future... Or is it useful to have "all fields" as a reference to compare psych and econ to? But then that shouldn't represent the aggregate data from the home page where we discuss the global south?
