“…In another study by Xu et al. evaluating the disparities among authors in the top 12 journals publishing on arthroplasty research between 2002 and 2019, the authors examined 14,692 articles, with approximately 50% of the articles being published from North America, 30% from Europe, and 16.4% from Asia [ 17 ]. The authors did not mention any publications from the ME; however, publications from Asia and Africa accounted for 16.4% and 0.2%, respectively, which is low compared to other parts of the world [ 17 ].…”

“…One way to measure scientific productivity is performing bibliometric studies, which are popularized in all scientific fields in general and the medical field in particular [ [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Previous studies reported a profound deficiency in publications on joint arthroplasty from Africa, while publications from Asian countries, although increasing in number, still lag behind those from North America and Europe [ 6 , 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Multiple studies have assessed the representation of women in orthopaedic publications and academic meeting presentations. Xu et al8 found that significant gender disparities remain among leading authors in the field of arthroplasty. Peters et al9 reviewed 2 major hand surgery journals and found increasing female authorship over the period studied.…”

Introduction: Orthopaedic surgery remains a male-dominated specialty. To date there has not been a focused analysis of gender in authorship within the pediatric orthopaedic literature. Methods: The electronic table of contents from 2011 to 2020 of 3 major pediatric orthopaedic journals [Journal of Children's Orthopaedics (JCO), Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics (JPO), and Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics Part B (JPO-B)] were reviewed. Publications were reviewed for the number of articles with at least 1 female author and the number of articles with women listed as first authors. These were compared over the 10-year study period, and by individual year of publication. Statistical analysis included a general linear model with factorial one-way anslysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc testing. Results: A total of 4097 articles were reviewed. In 2020, there was a significantly higher percentage of articles with a female author when compared with 2011 (64% to 42%, P = 0.010). A female was listed as first author in significantly more publications in 2020 as compared with 2011 (23% to 10%, P = 0.031). During the 10-year study period, the highest mean proportion of articles with at least 1 female author was seen in JPO (60%), with similar findings in JCO (55%). Significantly fewer articles in JPO-B contained a female author (37%, P = 0.001). The highest percentage of publications with a female first author across 10 years was in JCO (22%), followed by JPO (20%). Significantly fewer articles with a female first author were found in JPO-B (9%, P = 0.001). Conclusion:There is an increasing proportion of publications in the pediatric orthopaedic literature with female authors and female first authors from 2011 to 2020. In addition, there was a statistical difference in female authorship when comparing specific publications, which should be investigated further. Level of Evidence: Level IV.

“…The Genderize.io algorithm is a machinelearning-based tool that utilizes a database of >216,000 names from 79 countries and 89 languages to predict the gender of an individual on the basis of their name. This algorithm has been utilized extensively in previously published orthopaedic lit-erature [21][22][23][24][25][26] . The gender of the principal investigator was matched for 1,677 (97%) of the 1,723 total grants, with a minimum required confidence threshold of 90%.…”

Background: Gender disparities in research grant funding persist in many disciplines. With use of the Dimensions database, we sought to examine the extent of gender disparities in U.S. orthopaedic grant funding from 2010 onward. Our aim was to provide insights into the extent of gender disparities in the field of orthopaedic research and to highlight the potential need for future action to address these disparities. Methods: Using orthopaedic-related search terms, we queried all U.S. grants awarded for orthopaedic research from 2010 to 2022. A total of 22,326 results were then manually screened to exclude those without a direct focus on orthopaedic research. The amounts received per principal investigator were reported in U.S. dollars and adjusted for inflation. Author gender was predicted with use of the Genderize.io algorithm application programming interface. The iCite Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) was utilized to assess the impact of the publications linked to each grant. Results: A total of 1,723 grants were included. Men principal investigators received significantly higher median funding per grant in 2011, 2012, and 2013; however, this trend reversed with women receiving nonsignificantly higher funding in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2022. In 2020, women received significantly higher median funding per grant than men ($166,234 versus $121,384; p = 0.04). Throughout the 13-year period, men principal investigators accounted for approximately 71% of grants, with a very weak increasing trend in the percent of grants attributed to women (R2 = 0.16; p < 0.001). Grants with men principal investigators resulted in more publications than those with women principal investigators (mean publications, 11.1 versus 6.6; p = 0.001). Publications resulting from grants awarded to men had a significantly higher mean RCR than those resulting from grants awarded to women (2.42 versus 2.09; p = 0.04). Conclusions: There was no significant difference in the median amounts of funding per grant awarded to men and to women in 7 of the past 8 years, despite significantly greater funding per grant having been awarded to men from 2011 to 2013. Men principal investigators accounted for the majority of grants received during the study period, although this proportion was lower than the proportion of men among orthopaedic surgeons in 2022. This study could inform initiatives aimed at promoting equity in grant funding for orthopaedic research.
