“…Papers with female authorship in sustainability research have a significantly lower impact (e.g., 8.49 citations/doc authored only by women and 7.88 citations/doc mixedgender papers) than papers with only male authorship (14.29 citations/doc) (concurring with Zhang et al, 2022). This citation gap is also shown in the papers not cited (31 out of 100 papers authored only by women have not had any citation vs. 22 out of 100 men's papers).…”

“…Female researchers receive fewer citations in their papers than male researchers (Chatterjee and Werner, 2021), even when publishing in journals with a higher impact factor (Ghiasi et al, 2015). Publications have fewer citations when the name of the author is "more" feminine (Zhang et al, 2022) and when the publication has a female first or last authorship (Chatterjee and Werner, 2021).…”

Higher education institutions (HEIs) have been undertaking considerable efforts to embed sustainability into their system; however, there have been limited studies on the incorporation of sustainability into research. In parallel, it has been found that women have an important role in contributing to sustainability since they are more engaged and have a more holistic perspective on sustainability than men. These two phenomena have resulted in limited studies about the contribution of women to sustainability research (i.e., in scientific publishing). A bibliometric analysis of more than 39,000 documents (with 147,090 authorships) was done to fill this gap, focusing on sustainability peer-review publications in Europe between 2015 and 2020. The results show that women's presence in sustainability research has been increasing during the last years; however, there are still few female authorship publications, even in fields that have been traditionally women-oriented. In addition, their publications have been less recognized by the scientific community. The results also show substantial gender differences in terms of author leadership, where female senior researchers are more likely to mentor female junior researchers than men. Female researchers tend to collaborate nationally, but they could improve their international collaboration since this can improve their research and impact. More support should be provided to female researchers to help foster women's sustainability engagement and holistic perspectives, reduce existing negative feedback loops, and increase positive ones. Achieving gender equality is sine qua non in achieving sustainable societies.

“…But perhaps they haven't noticed the evidence that the more gender neutral an author's name is, the more citations their publications receive. 8 And surely they're not afraid of the possible opprobrium associated with the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, although in these days of heightened historical sensitivities, one wouldn't be surprised.…”

When I use a word . . . . St Bartholomew-onomastics and reputation A management suggestion that the Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, which is part of the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), should be renamed the QMUL Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has not met with universal approval. The international reputation of Barts, founded nearly 900 years ago, is a major consideration in this plan. A better course of action would be to change the name of QMUL to St Bartholomew's University and call the school the Barts and the London Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Barts University.
