The Status of Women in War: A Bibliometric Analysis

Objectives: This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on the status of women in the context of war. Despite the richness of literature on armed conflicts, there has been less systematic evaluation of the research output concerning this important gendered dimension of war. Methods: The study draws on 187 articles retrieved from the Scopus database, using the phrase "The status of women in war" in the search query to identify relevant publications. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to examine the patterns in publication productivity across countries, citation impact, key sources, affiliations, authorship trends, and thematic keywords. Results: The findings reveal a gradual increase in research outputs related to women and war over the past three decades, with notable spikes following major conflicts in the 21st century. However, the citation impact of this work has decreased over time. The analysis also highlights the dominance of scholarship from Western countries, indicating the need to incorporate diverse global perspectives. Conclusions: The paper concludes that while scholarship on women's gendered experiences of conflict is expanding, critical gaps remain in equitably representing diverse voices and contexts. Prioritizing interdisciplinary, intersectional analyses through collaborative global networks is needed to elevate overlooked perspectives for a comprehensive understanding of the urgency of women's realities in war.

Examining gender trends in PA authorship: A retrospective analysis of JAAPA and JPAE.

This study benchmarked gender trends in research authorship in the physician associate (PA) profession. A bibliometric analysis was conducted of the Journal of Physician Assistant Education and the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Associates from January 2014 to September 2022. We collected data on instances of PA first, last, and solo authorship of clinical or research articles. Author gender was verified through professional websites. Simple proportions and the Mann-Kendall test are reported. Among 1,315 collected instances of PA authorship, women represented 65.6% (n = 863) of the population, comprising 67.8% of first authors and 60.7% of last authors. The proportion of authors categorized as women increased over time (P = .04). Women were more likely to have only one publication compared with men. Although positive signs of increased research authorship by women are evident, women still lag behind men in overall publication numbers and in senior authorship roles compared with their representation in the PA profession.

Exploring gender disparities in first authorship in anatomy during last two decades.

In scientific literature, authorship serves as a vital form of symbolic capital, with first authorship especially signifying active research involvement. This study examines the presence and magnitude of the gender gap in Anatomy research authorship and tracks its progression over the past twenty years in five esteemed journals. To our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the trend of female first authorship within the subject. PubMed search for all the published articles in five reputed Anatomical journals (2004-2023) was performed to get the bibliographic details of each article. Rentrez package was used to retrieve full name and affiliation. The first authors from the Department of Anatomy, Morphology, Embryology and Histology were included. Gender of the first author was assessed using Namsor API. The proportions of female first authors were presented as percentage stratified year-wise and geographically. A Mann-Kendall trend test statistics was applied to observe the significance of trends. One third of publications were by female first authors in Anatomy in last two decades. Continent wise, Africa and North America had the highest and lowest female representation. Participation of female as first authors was relatively consistent across journals (31.6 -34.8%). Though trend for female first authors increased in 2023 (38.8%) as compare to in 2004 (28.9%), however Mann-Kendall trend test statistics indicate no significant increase in yearly trend (p = 0.552) during last twenty years. Globally males continue to dominate the prestigious first authorship in Anatomy except in India and Italy. Future research is needed to fully understand the obstacles preventing female representation as first authors in different geographic areas in this discipline.

Valuing diversity, from afar – A scientometric analysis of the Global North countries overrepresentation in top communication journals

Abstract Purpose This paper investigates the geographic disparities in academic publishing within top communication journals, focusing on the overrepresentation of Global North researchers and the underrepresentation of Global South scholars. The goal is to evaluate the inclusivity of these journals and assess the diversity of their editorial boards. Design/methodology/approach Using a mixed-methods scientometric approach, data were collected from Scopus-indexed communication journals between 2014 and 2023. Methods included bibliometric analysis, network analyses and advanced statistical approaches such as chi-square test and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Findings The analysis revealed significant disparities: over 90 % of publications in top communication journals were authored by Global North scholars, while less than 10 % were by Global South scholars. Similarly, editorial boards were dominated by Global North scholars, with the United States alone accounting for 63 % of board members. Practical implications These findings highlight the exclusion of Global South scholars from top-tier journals. The results call for more inclusive editorial practices and equitable publication opportunities for underrepresented regions. Social implications The study highlights the need to decolonize and dewesternize academic publishing by promoting greater diversity and inclusivity in scholarly communication, ensuring all geographic regions have a voice in the global academic dialogue. Originality/value This study advances previous work by integrating editorial board dynamics, authorship trends, and collaboration networks to provide a holistic perspective on geographic disparities in communication journals. It highlights the structural mechanisms that reinforce the overrepresentation of Global North scholarship and offers actionable recommendations for fostering greater inclusivity.

A bibliometric analysis on research authorship and collaboration patterns in radiography professional journals: A 10-year review

An analysis of women's authorship in five leading anesthesiology journals.

Over the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in gender equity. The present study explored the gender gap in five leading anesthesiology journals worldwide, covering the period from 1980 to 2020. We included all articles published in Anaesthesia, the British Journal of Anaesthesia, Anesthesiology, Anesthesia & Analgesia, and the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia in the years 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020, analyzing trends in women's authorship. We explored its association with variables including study type, subspecialty, continent of the corresponding author, number of authors, and gender of coauthors. There was a significant increase in women's authorship across all positions (first, second, and last) over the years (P < 0.001). Despite this progress, a substantial gender disparity remains evident. Women's authorship positions were notably associated with the type of study, the subspecialty, and the continent of the corresponding author. There was a strong positive correlation (0.82) between the total number of authors and women's first authorship position, whereas the correlation was negative (-0.54) for women's last authorship position. Furthermore, women's first and last authorship, as well as first and second authorship, were strongly associated, with odds ratios of 2.13 and 1.99, respectively. The trajectory of women's authorship in anesthesiology shows an upward trend, yet women continue to be underrepresented in the field. Particularly noteworthy is the finding that, when a woman is either the first or last author, there is a notable increase in the probability of having a woman as the second or first author, respectively. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fostering inclusivity and diversity within the discipline.

Female Representation in Ophthalmic Oncology and Pathology: An Analysis of Scholarship and Leadership

Introduction: Female representation in ophthalmic oncology and pathology is unknown. We evaluated gender-based trends in authorship and leadership in these fields, focusing on intraocular tumors. Methods: Articles containing “uveal melanoma” (UM), “retinoblastoma” (Rb), “primary intraocular lymphoma” (PIOL), “choroidal metastasis” (CM), and articles in Ocular Oncology and Pathology (OOP) were searched on PubMed and author names obtained. Leadership/awards from 4 international ophthalmic oncology and pathology societies were recorded. GenderAPI was used to predict gender. Results: Among 4,245 UM, 9,660 Rb, 141 PIOL, 353 CM, and 568 OOP authors, more males were first (range, 52–67%) and last authors (range, 69–76%). Analysis of the 4 keywords showed overall female authorship increased from 2011 to 2016 to 2017–2022 (35%–40%, p < 0.001), with an increase in both first (45%–47%, p = 0.03) and last authorship (26%–33%, p < 0.001). Female first authors were more likely to publish with female last authors (Rb OR 1.72, p < 0.001; OOP OR 2.04, p = 0.01). Males held more leadership roles/awards in societies. Conclusion: Female representation in ophthalmic oncology and pathology has grown but gender disparities remain. Female first authors were more likely to publish with female last authors. Most society leaders and awardees were male. Cultivating mentorship through professional organizations may help achieve gender parity.

Gender equity in authorship of emergency medicine publications in Australasia.

To evaluate gender authorship trends in the official journal of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM), Emergency Medicine Australasia (EMA). A bibliometric review of author gender in EMA during the 10-year period 2013-2022. The gender of first/last authors were determined by www.genderize.io, or a manual internet search where gender was not determined with at least 90% certainty. Descriptive statistics were used with percentages of women as first and last author compared to current percentages of ACEM Fellows (FACEMs) who identify as women. The final analysis included 1703 articles. Women accounted for 27.4% fewer authors than men (36.3% vs 63.7%). Women were outnumbered by men by 20.0% among first authors (40% vs 60%), and 36.2% (31.9% vs 68.1%) for last authors. When the last author was a woman, there was a similar rate of women (49.2%) and men (50.8%) as first authors. However, when the last author was a man, first authors were 37.1% women versus 62.9% men. If the last author was a woman, there was a 60% greater probability that the first author was also a woman (odds ratio 1.6, 95% CI 1.3-2.1). First authorship rate by women was equal to or exceeds the proportion of women FACEMs, however, last authorship by women still lags behind. The emergency medicine community in Australasia must continue to tackle existing gender disparities which exist in our specialty. A creative and active strategy on the part of publishers, editors, academics and authors is needed to redress this balance.

Gender Disparity in Surgical Research: An Analysis of Authorship in Randomized Controlled Trials

IntroductionDespite increasing female representation in medical fields, women remain underrepresented in high-impact authorship positions. This study examines gender disparities in authorship of randomized controlled trials in general surgery journals over the past 20 y. MethodsUtilizing PubMed and the Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate, 2023), we identified 8810 randomized controlled trials from 117 surgery journals, filtering down to 5694 studies for final analysis. Gender identification was performed using Genderize.io. ResultsResults indicate that women accounted for 26.4% of first authorships and 18.7% of last authorships. Logistic regression revealed that a male last author significantly increases the likelihood of a male first author (odds ratio 2.68; 95% confidence interval 2.18-3.32). Over time, there is a positive trend in female authorship, with high correlation coefficients for both first (Spearman's correlation coefficient 0.916, P < 0.005) and last (Spearman's correlation coefficient 0.878, P < 0.005) authors. Interestingly, journal quartiles did not significantly influence the gender of first authors. ConclusionsThese findings suggest persistent gender inequity in surgical research authorship, influenced by mentorship dynamics. The study underscores the need for strategies to enhance female representation in academic leadership to foster a more equitable scholarly environment. Limitations include reliance on Genderize.io for gender determination and the focus on general surgery journals, which may omit relevant studies from other domains. Overall, this research highlights incremental progress toward gender equality in surgical academia, advocating for continued efforts to close the gender gap.
