To pursue rigor, we adopted several strategies: (1) to exclude PLOS ONE because of subject heterogeneity; (2) to collect all articles published in a specific year for inclusion and comparison; (3) to normalize data to minimize potential effect of journal size; (4) to stratify data by percentile ranks to factor in popularity; (5) to compare datasets across many journals by the same publisher for interdisciplinary comparison.
