Was ist ihre Natur? Solche hochaktuellen Fragen versuchen Astrophysiker und Kosmologen in diesem Buch zu beantworten.
The remaining publications before were all from or later. The same edition and journal paper was referred to twice in four and two cases, respectively. We included all duplicates in the data analysis, since we were interested where philosophers publish their most important work. To this end, duplicates matter as well, since both of these authors or editors chose that journal or publisher over others. Table 2 describes the types of publications used for the data analysis. Note that proceeding contributions were subsumed under book contributions.
For the categorization as German and non-German-based see text. In addition, three unpublished habilitation theses, one unpublished PhD thesis, and one university-based website were listed, all of which were categorized as monographs. Table 2 summarizes the average number of publication types e. PoS had indicated different journals and different publishers, not including archive publications and publications on departmental homepages or such. T The results indicate that PoS in Germany published their most important research primarily in journals, followed by book contributions and monographs.
The percentage of journal-based publications seems high, since in philoso- phy book-based publications, especially monographs, are traditionally preferred. The average number of publications per publication type and their stan- dard deviation suggests that participants used a blend of different publication formats, by including journal papers, book contributions, and monographs.
On the other hand, for these publication types the standard deviation was high. This indicates that this pattern varied strongly. Let us now determine which journals and publishers were most frequently chosen. When the publication was a thesis or a department-based website, the corresponding university was taken as the publisher. With respect to book-based publications the following complication arose. DR Some publishers own other publishers: When a publisher owned an- other publisher, the publications of the owned publisher were counted as pub- lications of the owning publisher.
The only exception were cases, in which the owned publisher was among the most frequently chosen ones, as described in Fig. However, the only such case was Ontos. Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics was the only journal among the most frequently chosen ones, that focuses on special philosophy of science i. Among book-based publications, De Gruyter came out as most popular pub- lisher with In addition, of all book-based publications, Springer, Mentis, Ontos, and De Gruyter made up roughly Of the authored publications, These results indicate that PoS in Germany prefer to publish most of their most im- portant results individually, in contrast to other disciplines.
We also addressed the publication language of the authored publications. To this end, we distinguished between i German, ii English, and iii other. In case a publication was available in more than one language, the English version was chosen. A German version was used when a German but no English version existed. T Of the authored publications Note that also for German language publications English language abstracts are often available, since this is often required by journals and pub- lishers. Note that many German-based journals and publishers are clearly international.
On the other hand, there exist also journals and publishers that are non-German-based but national with respect to other nations. A publisher was categorized as German-based if its operative center was in Germany. A journal counted as German-based if its chief editor was located in Germany. In case the journal did not have a chief editor, the majority of members of the editorial board were required to be German-based.
The information for the categorization was obtained by web-based research. Table 2 describes the frequency distribution for German-based and non- German-based publication types. Table 2 also specifies for each publication type the percentages of German-based and non-German-based publications. For journal pub- lications non-German-based journals were preferred, whereas for monographs PoS chose German-based publishers rather than non-German-based publishers.
Let us now summarize the results for journal-based and book-based publi- cations separately for German-based and non-German-based publications. Of the non-German-based journals, Synthese, Philosophy of Science, and the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science accounted for 5 The percentage of encyclopedia editions was negligible and, thus, encyclopedia editions are not discussed here. Furthermore, of the different journals chosen by PoS, 35 were German-based whereas 66 were non-German-based.
For book- based publications, the results closely resemble the pattern for the overall sample of book-based publications. This is to be expected, since in the overall sample the six most popular publishers were German-based. Moreover, in total 80 German- based publishers had been indicated by PoS in contrast to 44 non-German-based publishers.
Concerning non-German-based publications in a book format note the fol- T lowing. To this end, the following types of externally funded research projects were distinguished: The quantitative analysis in this section is based on the number of individual projects rather than their financial volume. Henceforth, we refer to this type of projects simply as projects. In case a sub-project was reported to be a part of a larger unit and the sub-project was comparable to an individual project, the sub-project was included.
If no such sub-project was listed for a larger unit, the larger unit was admitted and received a vote equal to a single sub-project. In addition a number of larger units was reported, such as research units and collaborate research cen- ters, for which typically three or less sub-projects were indicated. This supports our hypothesis that non-professorial philosophers were underrepresented, since often researchers apply for externally funded projects in order to secure funding for positions of non-professorial collaborators.
We also determined to which degree individual PoS were involved in exter- nally funded projects. Of the participants reported an involvement in externally funded projects with a focus on philosophy of science. Let us now focus on the length of the individual projects. The average length of the research projects was 3. These projects were mainly research training groups, encyclopedia projects, and edi- tions of the collected work of individual philosophers and scientists. It amounted to forty-six years. We also inquired whether the number of projects increased in recent years.
To this end, the average year was calculated as well as the standard deviation, based on the beginning and end of the project. AF The average year of all projects was and the standard deviation was 5. This result suggests that the majority of projects in philosophy of science took place after the year Although participants might have tended to report more recent projects, the finding is too strong to be fully accounted for by this preference. Rather, this phenomenon seems to be largely due to overall increase of short-term and project-based positions in the humanities and the sciences in Germany in recent years.
Let us now explore the research areas in which the projects fell as well as the funding organizations of the projects. For this purpose, we took as basis the total number of non-duplicate research projects. To this end, we also included DR financed research semesters, funded conferences, and workshops, resulting in projects.
To determine the most frequent areas of research of the projects, two of the present authors rated the projects independently and both authors discussed and resolved their disagreement. In all cases multiple categories were allowed. This might be due to the following facts. Firstly, research in some areas e. Secondly, philosophy of science seems to profit from projects with different but related foci, such as formal projects, insofar as philosophers associated with 6 We give here only a rough estimate of the length of the research projects, since the beginning and the end of the projects was elicited only in terms of years.
In case no end date was given — since it was still on-going as of the year — we used the year as the default value. Let us now focus on the funding institutions of the externally funded research projects. For several of the projects more than one funding source was named, resulting in a total of references to funding organizations. In twenty- one cases a project had two funding organization and in four cases there were more than two. Finally, we investigated to which degree the funding of projects was based on institutions outside of Germany. One of the present authors categorized all funding institutions according to the the following categories: Edelstein Foundation , 3 binational funding institution e.
Of the funding organizations We also calculated the total number of projects that involved funding organization outside Germany.
The academic positions are listed alphabetically according to i city, ii name of the institution, and iii department or faculty if applicable. In addition, we differentiate between 12 Akademischer Rat and 13 Akade- mischer Oberrat, where 13 is the senior version of In contrast to 1 — 11 , 12 and 13 describe civil servant positions. Note that the categories 1 academic associate, 2 research associate, 3 academic assistant, and 7 lecturer are heterogeneous. For these positions, we added information based on research on the web. Moreover, these positions may differ from positions with the same label outside Germany e.
T For professorships there exist two classifications: The old classification of professorial positions discriminates between C3 and C4 professorships, where C4 professorships are equipped with a higher salary. The categories C1 and C2 refer to non-professorial or non-regular professorial posts. The new classification of professorial positions differentiates between three types of professorships. W2 and W3 positions describe traditional professorships, AF where W3 professorships are furnished with a higher salary. In contrast, W1 positions are junior professorships.
Junior professorships have been installed in Germany several years ago as an alternative to the traditional habilitation process. However, at present there are only a few junior professorships available in philosophy. In addition, there are non-regular professorships apl.

In fact, all survey participants were required to select and rank their most important publications in philosophy of science according to their importance. In addition, lower numbers indi- cate higher importance. We also marked those publications that were indicated by two PoS with an asterisk. Firstly, the survey only asked for publications in philosophy of sci- ence.
In addition, we did not require survey participants to have philosophy of science as their main research focus, but only as one of their research foci. As a consequence, the list below does not cover excellent publications in other areas than philosophy of science. Secondly, each philosopher of science was allowed to indicate maximally five publications.
Moreover, some PoS in Germany did not participate in the sur- vey. For these reasons, the list below also leaves out first-class publications in philosophy of science.
