#Genderbias & #Peerreview: When the EiC was a women, the percentage of women as editors was higher than when the EiC was a man (53.3% vs 29.2%, respectively; p<0.0001).

Progress in closing the #Genderinequity gap in a 13 years study: "A total of 72.4% of authors were male with 54% of articles were written by a male first author and male last author. Female last authors received on average 3.2 less citations than their male counterparts (p=.03). Of manuscripts with last female authors, 31.7% of female last authors were funded compared to 25.9% of last male authors." #Academia #Academic #epiverse #publichealth https://www.academicradiology.org/article/S1076-6332(22)00591-8/fulltext
