Many enraged psychiatrists are inciting a weary butcher. The butcher is
weary and tired because he has cut meat and steak and lamb for hours and
weeks. He does not desire to chant about anything with raving psychiatrists,
but he sings about his gingivectomist, he dreams about a single cosmologist,
he thinks about his dog. The dog is named Herbert.

I've had a bunch of 4's recently and I've been enjoying them because each step is a clue in the puzzle as I narrow down the answer. 2's & 3's feel like more luck and 5's and 6's are getting nerve racking.
4's are par, but also the sweet spot for fun!
And as it turns out, I was a little lucky today to get it on my 4th guess.

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.
