Update. "This study examines how editorial roles are distributed by gender across a national platform-based journal system…[We] distinguish four role categories—executive, operational, support, and symbolic…Women are significantly less likely to hold executive editorial positions…and more likely to occupy operational…and support roles…When these roles are aggregated into a single gatekeeping indicator, the gender coefficient becomes non-significant—not because stratification is absent, but because opposing effects cancel each other out. Role-disaggregated analysis is therefore a necessary condition for valid inference about editorial gender equity in role-differentiated settings." https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9152762/v1 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "Despite overall gains since 2015, women remain underrepresented in scientific organizations compared with their share of the global scientific workforce (31.1% of researchers worldwide in 2022). In national academies, women represent on average 19% of members in 2025, up from 12% in 2015 and 16% in 2020, with proportions ranging from 2% to nearly 40%. The share of academies with very low representation (fewer than 10% women members) has fallen by around half since 2015."

Update. In the field of emergency medicine, most journals (66%) did not comply with the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (#SAGER) guidelines. However, those that did had "significantly" higher citation impact than those that did not. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6ct1w42s #Gender #GenderBias #Medicine

Update. "Early parenthood was associated with the largest gender disparities in scientific citations, favoring men, while these disparities diminished among those who became parents after age 35." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10734-026-01668-4 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "An analysis of first and last authorship in journals tracked by Nature Index reveals a persistent gender imbalance…indicating that recognition in top-tier academic publishing has not kept pace with women’s growing presence in research. Among the natural-sciences journals tracked by the index, women represented 29% of first-author positions and 17% of last-author positions in 2025. These figures have improved only slightly over the past decade." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01495-8 Also see the data. https://www.nature.com/nature-index/author-gender-ratio #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "We found that gendered male authors represented 60% of first and last authors, 65% of first and last authorships (FLAs), and 91% of highly productive authors (those with ≥ 10 FLAs). Last authorships were particularly male-dominated, with 2.7 times as many last authorships by gendered male authors as by gendered female authors." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0352401 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "There is no clear evidence of systemic gender differences in funding success rates. However…if funding rates do not show gender differences, there are still clear gender differences in the system overall, with women representing only 36% of all applicants. Moreover, the paper warns against concluding that gender bias is absent simply because funding rates appear equal." https://researchonresearch.org/new-rori-study-finds-no-gender-differences-in-funding-rates-but-warns-equal-numbers-can-mask-bias/ Primary source https://rori.figshare.com/articles/preprint/How_do_grant_application_criteria_influence_gender_differences_in_research_funding_RoRI_Working_Paper_No_22_/32881505 #Funding #Gender #GenderBias

Update. In Spanish cancer research, "the number of papers authored by men was greater than that authored by women, although there was a gradual trend towards parity. Interestingly, the two most prolific authors are women, and women have larger co-authorship networks than men do. Funding is an important factor in determining whether an article is published in the first or second quartile [of #JIF journals], as is collaboration between two or more countries. However, the percentage of women and preferred authorship does not determine the [citation] impact of a publication, and as the percentage of women increases, the citation count decreases." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/leap.2086 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "We calculated the ratio between the overall share of female authors and the share of female corresponding authors [in >220 million publications by ≈ 60 million authors, over the last 125 years]…Our analyses reveal a continuous increase in overall female participation, rising from approximately 10% in the 1910s to over 40% in recent years…However, over the past two decades, this trend has globally inverted, indicating a decline of the traditional [disparity]…Despite these overarching trends, significant disciplinary and regional differences persist." https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.15059 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "In STEM fields, women first and last authors make fewer novelty claims [defined as "rhetorical statements that frame research as novel"] than men, and this is associated with fewer citations. In humanities and social sciences, novelty claims remain positively associated with citations, but there are no gender differences in their use or in citations." https://doi.org/10.1177/08912432261462166 #Gender #GenderBias #Disciplines
