Replication materials for "The Impact of a National Research Assessment on the Publications of Sociologists in Italy" to appear in Science and Public Policy DOI: 10.1093/scipol/scab013 More information on data on GitHub page: https://github.com/akbaritabar/SPP-ANVUR-sociologists-2021 Introduction to data Data were collected from Scopus in September 2016 and included all records published by Italian sociologists between 2006 and 2015. This period covered five full years before and after ANVUR, whose original call for participation was on 7 November 2011. By considering five years before and after the call, we aimed to trace pre-existing behaviour and examine scientists’ reactions to institutional policies.
