Table 4 Summary of homophily overall and by field

Data set	Rank	Tenure status	Gender^†
Overall	τ = 0.082, p < 0.001	τ = 0.096, p < 0.001	τ = 0.067
Biology	τ = 0.006, ns	τ = 0.019, ns	τ = 0.000
Chemistry	τ = 0.083, p < 0.01	τ = 0.114, p < 0.01	τ = 0.143

Summary of full results available in Additional file 1: Tables S1–S3. τ is the inbreeding coefficient defined in the main text
^†In our study, for the gender dimension, the estimation of the homophily coefficient uses up 1 degree of freedom for the 2 × 2 table, and so a test for difference from 0 of the coefficient cannot be conducted
