Cohorts

Authors are assigned to a given cohort according to the year of first recorded publication, which acts as an approximation for the beginning of their scientific career. We follow the publication records of all authors in every cohort who continued publishing for at least a certain number of years after their first paper, which can serve as a proxy for the career stage.
