@ninokadic@philosophy@academicchatter Oh maybe an (in)dependent or another factor to look at would be the number of people thanked in like a published work? like in the acknowledgement section, if say for major works of philosophers, the number of people acknowledged increased (say the geographic/institutions were different)
