“…[12][13][14] Research productivity is one of the key factors assessed for promotion, funding, and academic recognition. 15,16 Despite an increase in women's authorship in the past decades, men continue to represent a higher proportion of authorship. 17,18 Additionally, men are more likely to have higher research output and citation numbers compared with women across specialties.…”

Background. In the United States, only 13% of transplant surgeons are women. We evaluated gender distribution and trends of American authorship over the past 10 y in high-impact solid organ transplantation journals to gain insight into the current status of women authorship in transplantation. Methods. Original articles from 2012 to 2021 from the 5 highest-impact solid organ transplantation journals were extracted from Scopus. First and last author’s gender was predicted using Genderize.io. Data of first and last authors, article type and topic, location, citation, and funding metrics were analyzed. Chi-square, logistic regression, and trend tests were performed where appropriate. Statistical significance was set at <0.05. Results. Women’s first and last authorship increased over time among all journals. There was an increase in women first authors in the American Journal of Transplantation and in senior women authors in Liver Transplantation and Transplantation. Significant differences in gender authorship in lung, intestine, pancreas, general, and islet cell transplantation were found. Women’s last authorship was associated with 1.69 higher odds of having a woman first author when adjusting for year and journal. There was an increase in the rate of women’s first and last author collaborations over the years. Women last authors had 1.5 higher odds of being funded by the National Institutes of Health over the years. Conclusions. Despite an increase in women transplant surgeons and physicians, the gap in women authorship in transplantation persists. Women’s last authorship was associated with higher odds of having a woman first author, pointing to the importance of mentorship for women joining the transplant academia.

“…Moreover, the importance of the employment relationship could combine positive competitive pressure with adequate safeguards to protect against career hazards and endogenous production uncertainty that an individual is likely to encounter in his/her career. The evaluation of research productivity of researchers, faculty, academic qualifications, and experience for the purposes of recruitment, promotion, and research grant funding represents salient experiences that could be focused on emotional dynamics based on stress, psychological distress, anxiety, and depression 6 .

BackgroundEarly career researchers (ECRs) are a strategic sector in the academic community because they represent a scientific incubator for future academic scholars. Recently, growing evidence suggests that relevant doctoral researchers work under elevated levels of stress and frustration and that this has a significant impact on their personal health and research output and their future career development. This study aimed to analyse the well‐being and mental health within ECR, focusing on coping strategies for stress, and to contribute and exploit a conceptual framework tailored to the academic context considering the specifics and challenges of academia.MethodsParticipants were 134 young early career academics (mean age = 30.6; SD = 4.38; range = 25–40 years) enrolled via institutional email. A 94‐item questionnaire was created using Survey Monkey and distributed between October and December 2022. The survey assessment was based on three parts: (1) sociodemographic data, (2) psychological assessment, and (3) research skills design.ResultsOur findings highlighted a general trend toward negative psychological dimensions in ECRs: PhD students and research contracts appeared to be stressed, anxious, and depressed. Moreover, they had segmented ECRs: PhD students showed higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than research contracts, highlighting reduced positive outcomes in psychological dimensions, as well as lower ability to manage emotional experiences and then to be perseverant for long‐term goals and motivation. Our findings highlight that mental health in ECRs is a challenge that needs to be addressed in academia.ConclusionsNew and innovative ways of encouraging help‐seeking must be developed and implemented to address policy changes, communication activities, training, and health‐promotion activities through the circulation of experience, sharing actions, and strategies to foster healthy academics by raising awareness, implementing interventions, or engaging professionals concerning mental health in academia.
