“…Since different individuals organize the program for these sections across time, the observed variation might be explained by the program organizer. Indeed, Gruberg (2006, see also Gruberg and Sapiro 1979) observed that women organizers boosted participation by women for their sections of the APSA annual meeting program. However, he did not explicitly test this.…”

This study investigates how well women are represented at the International Studies Association's (ISA) annual meetings. It tracks women's participation in the roles of chairpersons, paper presenters, and discussants on the panels, roundtables, and poster sessions at five consecutive annual meetings. Additionally, the study investigates women's relative presence in the sessions sponsored by the various sections of the ISA and whether it makes a difference if women or men are the section's program organizers. The findings demonstrate that women are steadily increasing their presence at the ISA's annual meetings. The conclusion interprets this finding within the larger context of the field of international studies.How well are women represented at the annual meetings of the International Studies Association (ISA)? Although there have been a number of studies on various aspects of the status of women in international studies, women's participation in the ISA's annual meetings is a largely unexplored aspect of the status of women in the profession (for example, Henehan and Sarkees 2009; Sarkees and Breuning 2010). The annual meetings provide an important venue for members of the profession to receive feedback on their work, learn about the work of their colleagues and trends in the profession, as well as meet and network with colleagues. As such, the ISA's annual meetings serve an important purpose in the careers of the association's members and conference participants. Although the importance of the annual meetings certainly stretches well beyond the official program, tracking women's participation in the organized panels and roundtables is a tangible way in which the advancement of women in the profession can be made visible.This study provides a comparative assessment of women's participation in five consecutive annual meetings. In addition to a survey of women's participation in various roles-such as chair, discussant, and paper or poster presenter-the study investigates variation in the propensity of the association's sections to incorporate women, as well as the role played by the women and men who organize the conference program for these sections.The study's basic design is derived from the work of International Studies Perspectives (2010) 11, 242-254.

This article investigates the extent to which citation and publication patterns differ between men and women in the international relations~IR! literature+ Using data from the Teaching, Research, and International Policy project on peerreviewed publications between 1980 and 2006, we show that women are systematically cited less than men after controlling for a large number of variables including year of publication, venue of publication, substantive focus, theoretical perspective, methodology, tenure status, and institutional affiliation+ These results are robust to a variety of modeling choices+ We then turn to network analysis to investigate the extent to which the gender of an article's author affects that article's relative centrality in the network of citations between papers in our sample+ Articles authored by women are systematically less central than articles authored by men, all else equal+ This is likely because~1! women tend to cite themselves less than men, and~2! men~who make up a disproportionate share of IR scholars! tend to cite men more than women+ This is the first study in political science to reveal significant gender differences in citation patterns and is especially meaningful because citation counts are increasingly used as a key measure of research's quality and impact+ In this article we use the term gender rather than sex to refer to our male0female variable+ We realize that the two terms are not synonymous, nor is gender dichotomous+ We prefer to use the term gender because the coding of the author of a publication is based heavily on the pronouns an author uses to identify him-or herself+ The result, however, is that we are unable to include a category for transgendered scholars+ We regret this+ Still, because of the fact that transgendered individuals make up such a small proportion of the total population of IR scholars, any analysis of citation patterns of articles authored by transgendered individuals would be unreliable at best+ International Organization 67, Fall 2013, pp+ 889-922
