“…In Santiago's study, disparities in education and spatial flexibility are considered potential influencing factors. For example, using differential overqualification theory to observe the spatial distance of women's job searches, it was found that this group preferred to work from home, saving on transportation costs and increasing earnings [8]. Further, Lu Jing's research found that the digital economy has significantly boosted female employment, completely breaking the limitations of women in the labor market [9].…”

With the rapid development of digital technology, people are creating digital products, which has led to a digital transformation of the form of labor. The resulting platform capitalism is an economic form that will dominate society in the future, and the amount of digital labor it involves is only increasing. Based on existing literature and data, this paper discusses three separate issues affecting the income gap of digital labor by targeting audiences, social media, and advertisers. It is found that the pay of the audience as digital labor is limited by the degree of exploitation by advertisers and the extent of their use of social media. First, platform capitalism sustains the commodification of user behavior, resulting in a cashable act of digital labor. Second, big data exposes audiences to dilemmas of justice, and the exploitation of platform capitalism impacts the fairness of digital labor. Third, mediatization also impacts the income gap in digital labor, with less visible mediums earning less than more visible ones

“…Numerous studies have shown that gender differences exist in a number of scientific areas and characteristics, including mentoring and employment, salary, grants and funding, and publications and authorship. Santiago-Vela and Merganser (2022) found that there is a gender overeducation gap, with women at a higher risk of overeducation than men [4]. Additionally, a recent article in Nature [5] confirms that women lag behind in global scientific production and citations when considering author ranking (first or last), countries, collaboration practices, and citation density across disciplines [6].…”

“…In most developing countries, articles with women in dominant author positions are cited less than those with men in the same positions. Additionally, this citation disadvantage is exacerbated by the fact that women's publication portfolios are more domestic than those of their male colleagues; they benefit less from the additional citations that international collaborations bring e.g., [4,[28][29][30]. Penaluna and Arismendi's (2022) findings show that publications led by women consistently have fewer citations compared to men.…”

Women are disadvantaged across all stages of academic publishing. In science, contribution to editorial boards of journals is evidence of a high reputation within a specialty or field. Therefore, the low presence of women on editorial boards can be considered a disadvantage indicator for women in academia. This study aims to highlight the gap in women’s contributions in land science journals. We assessed the gender composition of editorial boards in 60 peer-reviewed journals using systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and we obtained data on current and past editorial boards of these journals. The result shows that the current number of editorial board members is 5197 of which only 25.47 percent are women. Gender inequality is very evident in this group of journals to the extent that journals with a high impact factor indicate inequality that is even more than 75 percent. The results of the time series analysis have also shown that the presence of women on editorial boards has increased over the last decade, although this increase has been more in the Nordic countries. The geographical distribution of editorial board members is also quite unequal in the North and South, 83 percent of female editorial board members are from northern countries, while only 12 percent are from the global South. According to the results, there is still a long way to go to achieve gender equality, especially in the field of land science. Our results also support previous findings of a considerable gender difference in urban land science, geoscience community, biodiversity conservation, and veterinary sciences. Thus, the academic community, editors, and journals must take proactive measures to achieve gender balance.
