Report summary

Iowa State University Department of World Languages and Cultures in 2015-2026 reads as a 13-PI network with 0 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Social Sciences as the leading field (40% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), Language and Linguistics as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), and EFL/ESL Teaching and Learning as the leading topic (9% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That lack of internal edges is worrying: the PI list may still be useful, but the graph does not support a claim of departmental cohesion. The leading PI names are Charlie Nagle (18.6 weighted works; Phonetics and Phonology Research, Language Development and Disorders). No internal PI-to-PI collaboration edge is visible in this period. No multi-PI collaboration group is visible in this period, a concerning sign if the department expects a connected internal network.
