And Research for All? A Look-in-Progress Into Arts and Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowships in the UK

Welcome. This is an open work-in-progress. Here I am looking at some public data about Arts and Humanities postdoctoral fellowships in the United Kingdom.

Who gets arts and humanities postdoctoral fellowships in the UK? How much do these fellowships cost? What kind of outputs do they produce? What are the most frequent keywords in award-winning abstracts? What does this tell us about the state of arts and humanities postdoctoral research in the UK? How could PhD students and Early Career Researchers use this data to make educated decisions?

I hope we can start asking some of those questions, and many more, here.

If you notice something wrong, do let us know

This is also an experiment in sharing content/progress/research/data whatever. "An experiment in post-publication peer review" sounds too grandiose for what this is, but in a way the intention of sharing is to reach out and to put data/content to test. Nothing here is final and can be corrected, and part of the learning/research process. Thank you for reading, and thanks in advance for any comments/annotations.
