Table 1. Distribution of research interests by rank in the AGI directory database. Research interests correspond to AGI speciality codes 401-411. Rank categories have been somewhat merged: Lecturers = lecturers + instructors; Associate professors include associate scientists; Professors include those listed as chairs, heads, and directors; Adjuncts include visiting professors; Other category research associates, curators and other museum staff, and survey scientists. Scientists outside of the United States not-broken down by rank.
