“…The finding that a majority of contributors are male is similar to results from other cultures and regions. A number of other research projects reported in the American psychologist (Helmreich et al, 1980;Over, 1981;White, 1985) support such findings. A similar trend was noticed in research reported in the Australian psychologist (White, Sheehan &: Korboot, 1983) as well as in the Journal of applied psychology (Cox, 1977).…”

“…They found that male authors predominated, but that there was steady increase in the number of women authors. In the same way, White (1985) conducted a study in which he analysed fourteen journals of psychology over a period of ten years. White reported that the previous research on the number of female editors and senior authors had indicated that women publish less than men and that they have been under-represented on editorial boards.…”

“…In psychology, some studies have found that women do publish in proportion to their representation in the field (e.g., White 1985), while other research has shown that women are underrepresented in their rate of publication (e.g., Kirk and Rosenblatt 1984). Gender representation seems to vary by specific topics (Walker and Thompson 1984).…”

Scholarly publication in peer-reviewed journals is widely regarded as the road to scholarly success. However, in a diversity of fields such as sociology, economics, and political science, it has been shown that the rate of publication is much lower for women than for men. The question of whether a systematic relationship exists between gender and research methods has also frequently been debated. In this paper, we explore patterns of authorship and scholarship in two influential interdisciplinary journals, Political Communication and the International Journal of Press/Politics, over the last decade. A systematic content analysis was conducted to determine the gender ratio of authors, the methods and theories employed, and the ratio of quantitative to qualitative research studies. In addition, we tracked the use of primary or secondary data sources and the prevalence of research funding by gender. Overall, we find that while women are publishing less than men, their rate of publication is somewhat higher than their representation in the field.

“…More recently, as the number of female academics increased, so did the study of gender diversity in editorial boards of academic journals (Bourns and Addis, 2004). Nevertheless, most of what we know about women's representation in editorial boards of academic journals is descriptive in nature and unrelated to the field of management (e.g., Addis and Villa, 2003;Carnegie, McWatters and Potter, 2003;McSweeney, Donahoe and Swindell, 2000;White, 1985). To our knowledge, there are two studies of gender diversity in editorial boards in the management area: McGee, Bucklin, Dickinson and McSweeney (2003) and Metz and Harzing (2009) So, what we know thus far is that the progress in women's representation in editorial boards of management journals has been somewhat patchy.…”

PurposeThis study updates our knowledge of women's representation on the boards of scholarly management journals with a longitudinal analysis of the same over two decades. Design/methodology/approachThis study extends the work of Metz and Harzing (2009) Practical ImplicationsThis study's findings clearly indicate that there is still much that can be done to narrow the gender imbalance in most editorial boards of management journals. Monitoring women's representation in editorial boards of management journals is only one of the steps needed for successful change to occur. Social implicationsThis study's findings matter for our society because editorial board membership is a sign of one's scholarly recognition and valued in academic promotion processes. It is important, therefore, that this promotion criterion be evaluated in the context of up-to-date knowledge of the representation of women in editorial boards of management journals, otherwise its impact on women's promotion could exacerbate an already discriminatory system of academic scholarship Originality/ValueIt is important to regularly monitor women's (under)representation on the boards of scholarly management journals to raise awareness that might lead to or sustain positive change. This follow-up study serves that purpose in the field of management, a largely neglected field until recently.
