Academic Productivity of Equity-Deserving Physician Scholars During COVID-19: A Scoping Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic presented new barriers and exacerbated existing inequities for physician scholars. While COVID-19’s impact on academic productivity among women has received attention, the pandemic may have posed additional challenges for scholars from a wider range of equity-deserving groups, including those who hold multiple equity-deserving identities. To examine this concern, the authors conducted a scoping review of the literature through an intersectionality lens. Method The authors searched peer-reviewed literature published March 1, 2020, to December 16, 2021, in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and PubMed. The authors excluded studies not written in English and/or outside of academic medicine. From included studies, they extracted data regarding descriptions of how COVID-19 impacted academic productivity of equity-deserving physician scholars, analyses on the pandemic’s reported impact on productivity of physician scholars from equity-deserving groups, and strategies provided to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic productivity of physician scholars from equity-deserving groups. Results Of 11,587 unique articles, 44 met inclusion criteria, including 15 nonempirical studies and 29 empirical studies (22 bibliometrics studies, 6 surveys, and 1 qualitative study). All included articles focused on the gendered impact of the pandemic on academic productivity. The majority of their recommendations focused on how to alleviate the burden of the pandemic on women, particularly those in the early stages of their career and/or with children, without consideration of scholars who hold multiple and intersecting identities from a wider range of equity-deserving groups. Conclusions Findings indicate a lack of published literature on the pandemic’s impact on physician scholars from equity-deserving groups, including a lack of consideration of physician scholars who experience multiple forms of discrimination. Well-intentioned measures by academic institutions to reduce the impact on scholars may inadvertently risk reproducing and sustaining inequities that equity-deserving scholars faced during the pandemic.

“…The impact of female academic advancement has been exacerbated since 2020 because of COVID-19. Initial studies have shown that academic productivity and advancement for women have suffered because of new challenges in this pandemic period [ 17 – 19 ], with the long-term effects yet to be determined.…”

“…Here, we use a systematic review and meta-analysis to study the impacts off the COVID-19 pandemic on research productivity across scientific disciplines, and to test hypotheses on how research field, breadth of gender gap before the pandemic, and authorship position might influence the strength of the effect. The impact of the pandemic on gender biases in research productivity has been explored in anecdotal accounts (Boncori, 2020;Excess Beth [@El_Dritch], 2020;Fazackerley, 2020;National Academies of Sciences, 2021), surveys of potentially affected people (Myers et al, 2020;Rodríguez-Rivero et al, 2020;Barber et al, 2021;Breuning et al, 2021;Deryugina, Shurchkov & Stearns, 2021;Diaz et al, 2021;Gao et al, 2021;Ghaffarizadeh et al, 2021;Guintivano, Dick & Bulik, 2021;Hoggarth et al, 2021;Krukowski, Jagsi & Cardel, 2021;Maguire et al, 2021;Plaunova et al, 2021;Shalaby, Allam & Buttorff, 2021;Staniscuaski et al, 2021;Yildirim & Eslen-Ziya, 2021;Ellinas et al, 2021;Davis et al, 2022;Stenson et al, 2022), and comparisons of numbers of articles submitted or published by gender before and during the pandemic (Amano-Patiño et al, 2020a;Andersen et al, 2020;Bell & Green, 2020;Cushman, 2020;Wehner, Li & Nead, 2020;Bell & Fong, 2021;Biondi et al, 2021;Cook et al, 2021;DeFilippis et al, 2021;Forti, Solino & Szabo, 2021;Fox & Meyer, 2021;…”

Background:A commonly used metric for evaluating academic success, the number of published articles, focuses on processes that select against female academics. Novel social conditions induced by COVID-19 pandemic likely exacerbated this gender-bias if female academics took on the load of caregiving, domestic, service and teaching roles. We investigate the pandemic effect on the gender gap in research productivity through a systematic review and meta-analysis of published articles across scientific disciplines.Methods:We identified 50 relevant articles with 115 effect sizes that measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender-specific research productivity, commonly as the number of submitted/published articles (n=97). We conducted a meta-analysis to 1) investigate the effect of the pandemic on the gender gap in research productivity within academia and 2) test hypotheses on how research field, breadth of gender gap before the pandemic, and authorship position influence this effect.Results:Overall, the gender gap in research productivity within academia has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before, especially in social sciences and medicine, fields that were previously nearest to being gender equal. We did not detect an influence of authorship position on the effect.Conclusions:We detected that gender biases favouring the productivity and perceived impact of men in academia overall strengthened during the pandemic. We encourage academic and funding institutions to consider a range of different metrics to evaluate academic impact, and to further acknowledge and accommodate individual circumstances.
