Length of Systematic Biology papers

Data downloaded from PubMed on 20th August 2019.

Files pubmed?.html contain the raw data from PubMed, using "Systematic biology"[Journal] in the search. The search resulted in 1,542 records for years 1996 to 2019.

The pubmed?.html files were then concatenated and hand-edited to remove records without page numbers (mostly advanced online publications). The edited file is systbiol-pubmed-allpg.txt and has 1,495 records.

Grep and Awk were then used to extract the PMID, Date of Publication (DP) and pages (PG). These are in pmid.txt, dp.txt, and pg.txt. These files were pasted into pasted.txt, which was then analysed in R (see systbiol.R).

Note that no effort was made to classify records according to type (i.e. review, research, opinion, book reviews, announcements, etc.).
