“…After identifying the gender of 112,707 authors of 15,019 scientific papers (12,080 articles and 2,939 reviews) published during a three-year period in 40 oncological journals of different impacts, we can draw the following conclusions:  The double pattern of relative overrepresentation of women as first authors and their relative underrepresentation as last or senior authors, also found in other studies 2,5,21 , suggests that age, or more specifically, seniority, could play some role in the gender composition of cancer researchers. This is a hypothesis that further research will have to test.…”

“…The selection consisted of 10 journals from each quartile (Q1-Q4) of the distribution of journals sorted by their Impact Factor (IF, JCR-2017), within the ONCOLOGY category, specifically, the top ten in each quartile (see journals in Table S1 of Supplementary material). We extracted all the articles (12,080) and reviews (2,939) published in these journals between 2015-17, and we examined their authorships to determine their gender.…”

“…After a preprocess of normalization that eliminated initials accompanying given names and replaced hyphens with spaces, all the authors' first names were matched through GenderChecker, a database that includes 102,142 worldwide names, classified as male, female, or unisex (acquired from http://genderchecker.com/). This database is being used in research [9][10][11][12] and, according to the website, by the UN Refugee Agency. To increase the number of observations, we identified the gender of a large number of authors (about 10% of total), one by one, whose given names had been unmatched or classified as unisex, by locating biographical information or a photo on the Internet (mainly on university or laboratory websites).…”

Despite recent advances, gender inequality persists in many scientific fields, including medicine. Thus far, no study has extensively analyzed the gender composition of contemporary researchers in the oncology field. We examined 40 oncological journals (Web of Science, ONCOLOGY category) with different impact factors (Q1-Q4) and extracted all the articles and reviews published during 2015-17, in order to identify the gender of their authors. Our data showed that women represent about 38% of all the authorships, both in articles and reviews. In relative terms, women are overrepresented as first authors of articles (43.8%), and clearly underrepresented as last or senior authors (<30%). This double pattern, also observed in other medical fields, suggests that age, or more specifically, seniority, may play some role in the gender composition of cancer researchers. Examining the pattern of collaboration, an interesting finding was observed: the articles signed by a woman in the first or in the last position roughly showed gender parity in the byline. We found also some differences in the content of the articles depending on which gender occupies the first and last positions of the authorships.

“…Bibliometric studies in Psychology are abundant (e.g., Cumming, Siddle, & Hyslop, ; González‐Alvarez & Palomar‐García, ; Quayle & Greer, ), but gender analyses within the psychological field are scarce, not recent enough or confined to a specific geographical area (Boice, Shaughnessy, & Pecker, ; D'Amico, Vermigli, & Canetto, ; Guyer & Fidell, ; Malouff, Schutte, & Priest, ). For example, Barrios, Villarroya, and Borrego () recently analysed a sample of 522 psychology papers/reviews published in 2007 and included in the Thomson ISI Web of Science (WoS), using the criterion that Spain had to appear in the affiliation of the corresponding author.…”

Despite important advances made in recent decades, women are still underrepresented in science (less than 30% of authorships). This study presents a bibliometric analysis of all the Psychology articles published in 2009 included in the Web of Science database (Thomson Reuters) in order to examine the contribution of women in contemporary Psychology, their pattern of research collaboration, the scientific content and the scientific impact from a gender perspective. From a total of 90,067 authorships, gender could be identified in 74,413 (82.6%) of them, being 40,782 (54.8%) male authorships and 33,631 (45.2%) female authorships. These data corresponded to 24,477 (49.9%) individual men and 24,553 (50.1%) women, respectively. Therefore, Psychology presents gender parity in the number of authors, and a gender asymmetry in the number of authorships that it is much lower than in science in general and other specific scientific fields. In relative terms, women tend to be concentrated in the first position of the authorship by-line and much less in the last (senior) position. This double pattern suggests that age probably plays a role in (partly) explaining the slight gender disparity of authorships.

“…Finally, and if it only were to confirm what I stated as blueprint for the future vision of IJP , this issue includes a article by Gonzalez‐Alvarez and Palomar‐García () on trends in the content of a prime competitor journal (Psychological Science) across the last 20 years. The article shows that the share of author teams, rather than single authors, as well as contributors from a range of countries, increased.…”
