Bourget, D. & Chalmers, D. J. (ms) Philosophers on Philosophy: The PhilPapers 2020 Survey: https://survey2020.philpeople.org/survey/results/4866 1“This site summarizes the results of the 2020 PhilPapers Survey, which surveyed the philosophical views of 1785 English-speaking philosophers from around the world on 100 philosophical questions.

“The 2020 PhilPapers Survey was a follow-up to the 2009 PhilPapers Survey. The 2020 survey increased the number of the questions from 30 to 100 and expanded the target population. It also collected longitudinal information on how philosophers’ views have changed since 2009.”
