Extended Data Table 6 Rank change by domain and field
From: Quantifying hierarchy and dynamics in US faculty hiring and retention
- Faculty movements within the prestige hierarchies are shown for academia (blue, bold italics), domains (highlighted, bold italics) and fields (e.g. Physics, or Nutritional Sciences); total n = 238,281. Three columns show how faculty flows break down by movement up the hierarchy, movement down the hierarchy, or self-hiring. In instances in which rates vary significantly by gender (two-sided z-test for proportions, Benjamini-Hochberg corrected, p < 0.05), values in parentheses show the difference in rates between women vs men, such that positive values indicate larger percentages for women. Two columns show the average movement distance (avg. mvmt.) upward for those moving up, and downward for those moving down. In instances in which distances vary significantly by gender (K.S. test for difference in distance distributions; Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p < 0.05), values in parentheses show the difference in distances between women versus men, such that positive values indicate larger movements for women. Statistical tests for differences by gender apply to only those n = 204,330 faculty with gender annotations (Methods).
