Analytic/Continental divide in the journals: a comment on Schwitzgebel's latest study

Philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside) has posted another of his interesting empirical studies, this time of references to major "Continental" figures like Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida in four leading Anglophone journals:  Philosophical Review, Journal of Philosophy, Mind, and Nous.   This chart is a useful representation of what he found:

See Schwitzbgebel's post for similar charts about Heidegger and other Continental figures.  A few thoughts below the fold.

1.  Of the four journals studied, only Philosophical Review regularly publishes papers on historical figures.  So while Frege is quite tightly bound to many contemporary philosophical discussions (e.g., in philosophy of language, math and logic), it's unsurprising that Nietzsche is not.    Even by the standards of Anglophone philosophy, Mind and to a lesser extent Journal of Philosophy are very narrow, although Mind has recently indicated an intention to broaden its coverage.   Figures like Nietzsche loom a bit larger in value theory, which is covered in all these journals, but is not a central (or even major) focus of any of them. 

2.   It is striking how well Nietzsche does compared to Frege outside of the four "top" journals.

3.  It would have been interesting to see how Hegel fares by these metrics.  The "Pittsburgh Hegel" (not to be confused with the actual Hegel!) has given the inscrutable sage of Jena and Berlin more traction in language/mind/metaphysics/epistemology than he would have had a generation or two ago.

Readers are welcome to post thoughts on this data here, although Professor Schwitzgebel also has comments open at his site.
