Sabermetric Bibliography

Charlie Pavitt has compiled an extensive bibliography of sabermetric research papers which he has generously shared with Retrosheet. The collection consists of several files.

• Bibliography Spreadsheet (Excel file): This spreadsheet lists books and articles on a variety of sabermetric topics. The entries are ordered alphabetically by author and include URL links where available.


• Explanation of Spreadsheet (PDF file): This PDF file is a companion to the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet includes codes which attempt to classify the spreadsheet entries into more detailed sub-areas of interest. This document identifies these areas and describes the spreadsheet in more detail.


• Summaries of Articles: Pavitt has written brief synopses of the articles and books which he has identified. These are spread across three PDF files, divided by the last name of the author(s): A-C, D-Z, and Russ Carleton (who is so prolific that he gets his own file).
