“…Women make up a minority of researchers in the world (Larivi ere et al, 2013; UNESCO, 2018) despite the increasing rates of women's admission to universities compared to men (Amankwah et al, 2018;Bilton, 2018). Pinho-Gomes et al (2020) showed that the current COVID-19 pandemic and emergency situation requires the cooperation of researchers without considering gender differences, which could be a factor in reducing gender inequality between researchers but that women's representation is lower as first and last authors (Pinho-Gomes et al, 2020).…”

“…Pinho-Gomes et al (2020) showed that the current COVID-19 pandemic and emergency situation requires the cooperation of researchers without considering gender differences, which could be a factor in reducing gender inequality between researchers but that women's representation is lower as first and last authors (Pinho-Gomes et al, 2020). However, several researchers have shown that the authorship of women in medical journals has been increased (Amankwah et al, 2018;Hart et al, 2019;Pagel et al, 2019;Patel et al, 2019). The importance of gender aspects in science and technology as a global issue has led to the study of the position and authorship trend of researchers in recent years.…”

“…For example, in a study, Amankwah et al (2018) evaluated the trend of authorship information in manuscripts of the American Journal of Cardiology between 1958 and 2016. Their results showed that the number of women in the position of first and last author has augmented over time, so that the number of first female authors increased from 3% in 1958 to 23% in 2016, and the number of last female authors of articles was elevated by 20% in 2016 (Amankwah et al, 2018).…”

“…The need for research about the gender trend of authors of medical articles is more tangible given the value of medical papers and their increasing growth (Amankwah et al, 2018), the impact of their results on community health and the need to maximize the use of human intellectual capital in scientific competitions, half of which is composed of women.…”

Author's gender is a potential factor in scientific publications. We evaluated the trends of authorship gender by focusing on women in an Iranian medical journal and followed two aims: A) Mapping gender trends in authorship positions; B) Drawing the patterns among authors. Our results showed that between 1999 and 2019, the role of women as first author was 26.7% and 54.9% (p < 0.05); as last authors 33.3% and 37.3% and as corresponding author 23.3% and 36.7%, respectively. Despite progresses made by women, they were not significantly successful as corresponding and last authors. Further researchers around the world can have similar focus and be useful in making decisions for equality issues.

“…A few papers in cardiology, gastroenterology, and pulmonology after analyzing the current literature were discovered by this study, however there was a noteworthy absence in endocrinology 11,13,14 . Therefore this study plans to fill this gap and analyze part of the reality by individually assessing articles published in two major endocrinology journals to evaluate whether there has been a proportionate change in the number of articles published by female authors, and whether the female authors were funded by government bodies, educational institutions, or organizations, or if they were solely self-funded.…”

Background Over the previous few decades, demographics, gender, and the number of papers published have all changed considerably. One of the fields of medicine that has yet to be extensively investigated is endocrinology. Methods Journal of Endocrinology and General & Comparative Endocrinology are two landmark journals that publish articles from around the world. Each decade during the 70-year period from 1961 to 2021 has been examined in this study. Funding source, first author – last author gender, their demographics and proportion of papers with at least one female author were the parameters considered while studying each publication. It was predicted that the number of female authors per paper would increase with time, as would the range of degrees held by the authors, demographical variations in authorship, and the funding source. The aim was also to determine the distribution of female first authors and senior authors in endocrinology journals over a 70-year period, as well as to check the gender combinations using the Punnett square. Results Female initial authors rose from 7% to 29.6% (p<0.0006) between 1961 and 2021, whereas female senior authors rose from 15.6% to 22.2%. Despite women's small contributions to first and senior authors, female participation rose from 17.48% (25/143) to 70% (170/250) between 1961 and 2021. Male-Female and Female-Male combinations rose with Chi-Square = 124.6, (p<0.0001). Europe and the Americas had the most female academic medical contributors (p<0.0001) Regardless of author status, female participation rose from 17.48% in 1961 to 68% in 2021. Conclusion In papers published in endocrinology journals, there was a rising trend in female contributions to academic medicine. Even with the large growth of female endocrinologists, there is still a disparity in why the increase in female authors is comparably fewer.

Gender Trends in Authorship of Original Otolaryngology Publications: A Fifteen‐Year Perspective

ObjectiveTo examine trends in female author representation within original otolaryngology research between 2000 and 2015.MethodsOriginal research articles published in 11 otolaryngology journals were analyzed for 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2015. The genders of the first and last authors for each article were recorded. Overall female authorship was calculated by summing the numbers of the first, last, and both first and last female‐authored articles. Student t test and Cochran‐Armitage trend test were utilized to determine significance between years and groups.ResultsOf the 9,623 research articles published during 5 representative years, 223 were excluded due to one or more gender‐indeterminate authors. Female first authorship exhibited a significant upward trend from 2000 to 2015 (P < 0.0001), as did the proportion of literature with female first and last authors (P < 0.0001). Although female senior authorship in literature with an impact factor (IF) greater than 2 did not increase significantly (10.0% in 2000 to 10.1% in 2015; P = 0.738), this metric did increase significantly just within journals with an IF between 1 and 2 (9.7%–12.3%, P = 0.036). The proportion of articles with a female author in the first, last, or both positions increased from 28% to 39% (P < 0.0001).ConclusionIncreasing female representation in otolaryngology literature may reflect the rising proportion of women within otolaryngology as well as greater mentorship availability. Despite these auspicious strides, female‐authored articles nonetheless represent a smaller proportion of the literature, and female senior authors remain a stark minority. Future studies should identify the barriers to female access and advancement within the field.Level of EvidenceIII Laryngoscope, 130:2126–2132, 2020
