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."

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
