General comments on 2007 data
[A small change made on February 20, 2007]
In February 2007, there were 731 assistant professors in PhD-granting political science departments (the spreadsheet has 742 names but 11 of them will start in their new institution later in 2007). I will operate with the number 742 from now on.
Of those, 479 were male and 263 (35.4%) female. There are 139 "new" assistant professors (not necessarily hired the last year; and some of them had a tenure-track position before). Of those, 90 are male and 49 (35.3%) female. Field-wise, 294 do American, 191 Comparative, 169 IR, 77 Theory, and 11 do purely Methods (I classified methods people usually as Americanists if they had at least some publications in American politics - which means most of them).
Most people come from Harvard (45), followed by UC Berkeley (43), Michigan (37), Stanford (36), Columbia (31), Princeton (27), Chicago (26), UC San Diego (25), UCLA (22) and Yale (22).
The sum of "number of publications" variable provides a total of 1867 articles. Probably around half of the articles (914) are single-authored (there are double counts for non-single-authored articles, and I don't know how many). The median number of ISI Web of Science-mentioned publications is 2 (0.5 per year; if discounted by authorship, then 0.33 per year). 216 have a book (usually published, but some forthcoming; I even included some "under contract"). Almost as many (207) have at least one "top-3" publication.
