“…Overall, we find that the representation of women among authors did not vary with journal impact factor (Figure ). This contrasts with previous findings from mathematics (Mihaljević‐Brandt, Santamaría, & Tullney, ), biology journals more generally (Bonham & Stefan, ), journals in the Nature Index (Bendels, Müller, Brueggmann, & Groneberg, ), and in biomedical journals (Shen, Webster, Shoda, & Fine, ; Strand & Bulik, ), all of which showed that women were less well represented as authors in higher impact factor journals (though this pattern was not seen for computational biology journals; Bonham & Stefan, ). Those previous studies also generally find that women are less well represented at the more prestigious authorship positions in high impact factor journals than in lower impact factor journals, a pattern we did not observe.…”
