“…This might indicate that the high rate of female students entering medical schools is finally impacting academic medicine and medical science [10,11]. However, other relevant indicators for gender inequality have remained [12,13]. Where scientists with higher academic degrees are involved (solicited articles, peer reviewers, editorial boards), female contribution is still much too low -a reflection of the fact that in medicine, as in all other academic disciplines, the higher the academic level, the lower the percentage of female scientists becomes [14].…”

Between 2001 and 2007 the percentage of manuscripts submitted to Wiener klinische Wochenschrift by female authors constantly increased and is now around 30%, reaching almost 50% in some specialties such as pediatrics. Nevertheless, there remains a massive gender imbalance in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift: review papers or invited editorials are only rarely authored by female researchers, a very low percentage of peer reviewers is female - although the quality of their reviews is generally better - and only one member of the editorial board is female. Even though this is mostly a reflection of the general situation in academic medicine, medical journals can and must take action and contribute to the elimination of these gender inequalities.

“…We found relatively low gender differences in the perceptions of health complaints in students from both Denmark and Turkey. While both countries have differences in culture and possibly in the gender development index, both countries provide comparatively promising opportunities for women in science (Lundberg et al 2005), which might shape the perceptions of students in higher education to a larger extent than the general life changes for women in these countries.…”

Gender differences in students’ health complaints: a survey in seven countries

et al. 2007

Aims This study sought to determine the relationship among gender, quality of life and subjective health complaints in university students from six European countries and Turkey. Subjects and methods In surveys conducted between 1998 and 2005, ten health complaints were measured in a sample of 5,317 university students by a symptom checklist with a self-administered questionnaire, which also contained questions on socio-demographic variables and a one-item quality of life measure. Results The gender-standardised prevalence was highest for nervousness and headache followed by back ache or neck/ shoulder ache in most of the countries. Overall, students from Turkey and Spain reported the highest level of complaints and students from Denmark and Lithuania the lowest. Female students were significantly more likely to report health complaints. The gender difference was consistent across types of complaints and study sites, but varied in size. It was on average smallest in Turkey and strongest in the Slavic countries, Poland and Bulgaria. Among all health complaints, depressive moods had the strongest negative impact on quality of life. Conclusion Although the results cannot be generalized to the general populations of the respective countries, the different profiles of reported complaints and gender differences should give rise to special interventions in these populations of young adults.

“…34 "Work from top academic institutions in the U.S. indicates that unless clear steps are taken to improve recruitment and retention of women in academics, no significant changes in gender distribution in medical school faculty are expected throughout the entire twenty-first century." 34 Out of 60 articles in this category, only two contributed to answering this study's questions. The 58 remaining articles in our review focused on women's advancement in academic medicine but did not fully explore our central questions.…”
