Publication patterns in the leading journals of chemistry, economics, philosophy, and sociology between 1960 and 1985 are examined Patterns of institutional stratification are indicated by the dispersion of institutional affiliations among authors, peripheral status of authors, and the extent of the bureaucratization of knowledge produced within the respective disciplines. The data show that patterns of institutional stratification vary across indicators and among the disciplines examined; that is, on some indicators, certain disciplines appear more relatively open than others. The relative openness among the leading journals in these disciplines, however, should not obscure the fact that institutional representation in these leading journals is generally restricted to an inner circle of prestigious academic institutions
