“…The majority of articles with female first authors are concentrated in the country’s major urban centers, highlighting regional disparities in research opportunities and the need for investment and support in rural areas. This pattern is consistent with previous Latin American studies (5) (6), highlighting the continued underrepresentation of females as first and last authors in research articles. It has even been demonstrated that women’s representation is declining in Latin America, primarily in the medical sciences (11).…”

“…In Latin American countries, similar gender disparities in authorship and academia persist in the medical field. Tinoco et al (5) discovered that female authors were less likely to hold first and last positions in Brazilian Cardiology journals. A subsequent investigation by Campos et al (6) revealed that women were frequently underrepresented on editorial boards in Latin American surgical journals.…”

Accepted medical journal manuscripts serve as the primary currency of the scientific community. Over the past few decades, there has been a gradual increase in the number of women entering the medical field. However, women remain underrepresented as first and last authors in medical journals. This lack of representation makes it harder for them to reach leadership roles and advance in their academic careers. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the gender distribution among authors and explore disparities in authorship in relation to the type of publication (original research, case reports, and review articles) as well as the authors' geographic locations. Our analysis included 6,088 articles from 54 research journals sourced from Colombia's Ministry of Health official website. These articles were predominantly original research articles, although case reports and reviews were also present. The analysis specifically focused on published research articles, as they are extensively studied in existing literature. Until now, there has been no assessment of gender disparities in authorship within medical and surgical specialty journals in Colombia. We could evidence persistent gender disparity in primary authorship in Colombia, regardless of the timeframe, location, or field of study. This emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced support for female researchers and equitable resource allocation to rectify regional imbalances. Furthermore, our findings highlight the imperative need to address gender disparities in authorship in medical and surgical research articles in Colombia and other Latin American countries.

“…In authorships of scientific publications, the inequality remains present. For instance, in a Brazilian Surgical Journal, 72.2% of the authors were men and according to a study, in two cardiology journals, around 70% of the last authors were male ( Mesquita et al, 2022 ).…”

Bioinformatics is a growing research field that received great notoriety in the years of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a very integrative area, comprising professionals from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In agreement with the other STEM areas, several women have greatly contributed to bioinformatics ascension; however, they had to surpass prejudice and stereotypes to achieve recognition and leadership positions, a path that studies have demonstrated to be more comfortable to their male colleagues. In this review, we discuss the several difficulties that women in STEM, including bioinformatics, surpass during their careers. First, we present a historical context on bioinformatics and the main applications for this area. Then, we discuss gender disparity in STEM and present the challenges that still contribute to women’s inequality in STEM compared to their male colleagues. We also present the opportunities and the transformation that we can start, acting in academia, inside the family and school environments, and as a society, hence contributing to gender equality in STEM. Finally, we discuss specific challenges in the bioinformatics field and how we can act to overcome them, especially in low and middle-income countries, such as Brazil.

George Eliot and George Sand, 19th-century novelists, were pen names for Mary Ann Evans and Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, respectively. In common, two women who, to achieve recognition for their texts, used male names in their works, as portrayed by Nodari in his article published in 2021. 1 Far beyond historical knowledge, analyzing gender disparity in scientific production transcends literature and must be understood as the result of a process of formation and development of society. The patriarchal, white model with financial privileges is unquestionable, which, combined with a vision of the "man with reason and the woman with emotion", 2 helped to build the model of science that, in a wrong way, kept women away from the scientific field.
