Are publisher identities a possible confounder?
Viewed 47 times

If there is sufficient data to do this without risking de-anonymisation it would be very interesting to know how the effect varies based on the publisher of the journal. This could actually be a substantial confounding effect in the analysis as different publishers are very different. It would also be interesting to know if there was a difference between OA and non-OA journals. Again, this is likely to co-vary strongly with any publisher effect.
