So sorry. Here it is: ------------------------------------------------------ order_psy | psych_type freq_psy ----------+------------------------------------------- 1 | 1850 2 | Cognitive Neuroscien 37 3 | Social 37 4 | Developmental 32 5 | Cognitive 12 6 | other (specify) 10 7 | Neuropsychology 5 8 | Industrial/Organizat 5 9 | Experimental or Comp 3 10 | Psycholinguistics 3 11 | Personality and Indi 2 12 | Physiological 1 13 | Perception and Psych 1 14 | Quantitative 1 15 | Computational Psycho 1 ------------------------------------------------------

I should just note that the data above is from 2013 only. It says nothing about trends...

This is quick and dirty, but here it is. (Obviously, ignore the first line in each category). Also, props to dcampos6398 for the graphic. ------------------------------------------------------ order_l | life_type freq_l ----------+------------------------------------------- 1 | 1433 2 |

give me one sec..

In my desire for information, I resorted to the data from last years awards. Just thought some of you would be interested in this: ------------------------------------------------------ order | field freq ----------+------------------------------------------- 1 | Life Sciences 567 2 | Engineering 502 3 | Chemistry 162 4 | Social Sciences 159 5 | Psychology 150 6 | Geosciences 111 7 | Physics and Astronom 104 8 | Comp/IS/Eng 89 9 | Mathematical Science 67 10 | Materials Research 42 ------------------------------------------------------ Good luck, everyone!
