Description: In our study, we explore how scientific colonialism and socio-economic factors (e.g. GDP, education, security, and English proficiency) affect the global distribution of fossil data. We use scientific publication and geographic data from the Paleobiology Database (www.paleobiodb.org), a publicly accessible database used widely by the palaeontological researchers to investigate past biodiversity patterns.
This repository contains all data and scripts used in the following study. The code can also be directly accessed at the Github Repository.
