In 2021, Open Editors first scraped data about academic journal editors across dozens of publishers; a second round of scraping in 2022 found more than half a million data rows. These datasets are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4619374. Based on a new codebase (available at GitHub), this present dataset (from February and March 2026) comprises data about 377,678 journal editors across ca. 7,000 journals from 20 scientific publishers. The variables are: editor_id: an internal identifier editor: the name of the editor or editorial board member affiliation_ror: standardized affiliation name based on a matching against the ROR API affiliation: raw affiliation string found on the journal website ror: the ROR identifier based on the ROR API matching role: the role of the editorial board member (such as Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor, etc.) country: the country of the affiliation raw_text: the raw HTML string scraped first_seen_at: date of scraping journal: name of the journal url: the URL of the journal publisher: name of the publisher predatory: a binary code denoting whether the publisher is known as questionable (coded as 1) or not (coded as 0)
