Who are the gatekeepers of economics? Geographic diversity, gender composition, and interlocking editorship of journal boards [PDF]
This study investigates the role of editorial board members as gatekeepers in science, creating and utilizing a database of 1,516 active economics journals in 2019, which includes more than 44,000 scholars from over 6,000 institutions and 142 countries.

Gender inequality and self-publication patterns among scientific editors [PDF]
Academic publishing is the principal medium of documenting and disseminating scientific discoveries. At the heart of its daily operations are the editorial boards. Despite their activities and recruitment often being opaque to outside observers, they play a crucial role in promoting fair evaluations and gender parity.

Seats at the table: the network of the editorial boards in information and library science [PDF]
The structural properties of the network generated by the editorial activities of the members of the boards of "Information Science & Library Science" journals are explored through network analysis techniques. The crossed presence of scholars on editorial boards, the phenomenon called interlocking editorship, is considered a proxy of the similarity of ...

Interlocking editorship. A network analysis of the links between economic journals [PDF]
The exploratory analysis developed in this paper relies on the hypothesis that each editor possesses some power in the definition of the editorial policy of her journal. Consequently if the same scholar sits on the board of editors of two journals, those journals could have some common elements in their editorial policies.

Pulsed Laser Deposition of a PBN:65 Morphotropic Phase Boundary Thin Film with Large Electrostriction [PDF]
We deposited epitaxial thin films of Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB) Pb0.65Ba0.35Nb2O6 (PBN:65) on MgO substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Afterwards, a novel transmission optical experiment was developed to measure the electric field-induced bending angle of the thin film sample using a divergent incident light. From which the electric field-

The Research of Thomas P. Branson [PDF]
The Midwest Geometry Conference 2007 was devoted to the substantial mathematical legacy of Thomas P. Branson who passed away unexpectedly the previous year. This contribution to the Proceedings briefly introduces this legacy. We also take the opportunity of recording his bibliography.

Gender Representation on Journal Editorial Boards in the Mathematical Sciences [PDF]
We study gender representation on the editorial boards of 435 journals in the mathematical sciences. Women are known to comprise approximately 15% of tenure-stream faculty positions in doctoral-granting mathematical sciences departments in the United States. Compared to this pool, the likely source of journal editorships, we find that 8.9% of the 13067

Christoffel-Darboux kernels in several real variables [PDF]
The Christoffel-Darboux kernels for orthogonal polynomials in several real variables are investigated within the context of the three term recurrence relation reformulated for this purpose. Examples of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and on the Bernoulli lemniscate are discussed.
