Bruno Massa publication distribution in Ecology and Evolution in 2026 - data summary

  • The chart plots the publication count of all 8,381 Ecology and Evolution scientists ranked by Research.com in 2026, grouped into 100 ranges running from 37–41 to 531+ publications.
  • The median of the discipline falls in the 147–151 publications range.
  • The most crowded range is 97–101 publications, holding 333 scientists (4% of the field).
  • 58% of the field sits in the lowest quarter of the value range (up to 157–161 publications), so the distribution is heavily right-skewed and high scores are rare.
  • The final bar has no upper bound: it groups every scientist with 531 publications or more, 100 scientists in all (1% of the field).
