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." * primary source https://gender-equality-in-science.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Towards-gender-equality-in-scientific-organizations_final.pdf * summary https://theconversation.com/women-in-science-global-study-finds-presence-without-power-279248?shem=dsdf,sharefoc,agadiscoversdl,,sh/x/discover/m1/4 #Gender #GenderBias
