title = "The American Reception of Logical Empiricism: A Mention-Based Bibliometric Analysis",
abstract = "This paper supplements existing work on the development of logical empiricism with new quantitative data concerning the movement{\textquoteright}s reception in the United States. Using EDHIPHY ({\textquotedblleft}Enriched Data for the History of Philosophy{\textquotedblright}), a relational database specifically designed for bibliometric research on the development of twentieth-century philosophy, we trace the impact of logical empiricism on American philosophy before and after the migration. Specifically, we make use of EDHIPHY{\textquoteright}s mention index, a catalogue of 1,095,765 mention links extracted from 22,977 full-text articles published in 12 Anglophone philosophy journals between 1890 and 1979 and conduct a comparative analysis of these mentions over time. We (1) explore the relative impact of 11 prominent representatives of logical empiricism, (2) compare the movement{\textquoteright}s reception with a number of contemporaneous philosophical schools, (3) map its evolving place in the American philosophical landscape through a series of co-mention analyses, and (4) dissect logical empiricism{\textquoteright}s reception by exploring the role of various journals and universities.",
