Questions… Which universities are producing submissions to Cambridge Journals? Do submissions correspond to usage? Do submissions correspond to overall research ratings? How do Turkish submissions compare to submissions from other countries? What are the acceptance rates, and how do they compare?

Cambridge Journals Over 330 titles in 2015, with many new titles in 2016 and beyond Traditional strengths in Humanities & Social Sciences, and highly rated areas of STM Digital Archive 1770-2011 Emphasis is on quality rather than quantity

The dataset: a snapshot, not the full picture Reviewing submissions from only 11 journals Journals with high submission numbers, not necessarily the most usage or highest impact factor Some sectors of research generate more activity and submissions than others STM bias in this sub-set of content
