“…5 were written by civilian universities. In other words, one article was produced by the U.S. Army Research Institute for Behavioural and Social Sciences (Woelfel 1981) and two other articles were published by civilian universities in collaboration cooperation with a military institution and vice versa (Rosen et al 2003;Bostock and Daley 2007). The above results may eventually mean that researchers working in military institutions continue to have a great opportunity to carry out gender studies (Alvinius et al 2018).…”

“…In the 80s, Woelfel's (1981) article addressed the increase integration of women in the U.S. Army, and realized that research at that time focused on: (1) attitudes towards the integration of women in the Army, (2) the impact of the role of women has had on the Army's ability to perform its mission, and (3) the adjustment of women in the Army.…”

“…5) identified 10 authors with the highest number of publications and citations. In fact, the WoS has identified John C. Woelfel as the author who published two articles (Woelfel 1981;Savell et al 1979), while all the other authors were listed by alphabetical order with only one publication, which has not helped to draw large conclusions. For that reason, we had to include the citation record.…”

“…Overall, the authors' profile and affiliation gave us some clues as to how knowledge of gender studies was generated. For instance, most articles, as well as the most cited, were written by mixed teams of male and female academics (Robbins and Ben-Eliezer 2000;Firestone and Harris 2003;Rosen et al 2003;Bostock and Daley 2007;Chan et al 2008;Wilkinson and Callister 2010), while in few cases were written individually or exclusively by men (Woelfel 1981) or by women (Campbell et al 2003;Sasson-Levy 2007;Segal 2008). An additional and more focused study on this topic was recently published by Fox and Paine (2019).…”

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the literature regarding gender inequalities in the military service. In doing so, it discloses challenges and opportunities for women's integration and finds new avenues for future research. Recent scientific research has evidenced that women still represent a growing minority in most Western militaries. Women's integration deserves equal opportunities across all branches and levels of responsibility in the military, however, their expansion to ground combat roles is still a challenge to the military and policy-makers. Scholars have also reported about the decision to increase the number of women in combat roles, as it may potentiate adverse experiences, due to closer proximity to men in circumstances with little or no privacy. Conversely, scientific research has shown that more egalitarian women reported significantly less sexual harassment victimization. Furthermore, our insights suggest that it might be fruitful to integrate women in ground combat roles as special forces' operators, with a view to induce a reduction of marginalization and sexual harassment, by gaining respect in a male-dominant culture. The presented idea should be interpreted with caution and needs to be supported by empirical research; although we are convinced that future research will be revealing and might represent a game-changing situation to women inequalities in the armed forces.
