Abstract：
Women and underrepresented groups in medicine hold few academic leadership positions in the field of hematology/oncology. In this study, we assessed gender and race/ethnicity representation in editorial board positions in hematology/oncology journals.
Editorial leadership board members from 60 major journals in hematology and oncology were reviewed; 54 journals were included in the final analysis. Gender and race/ethnicity were determined based on publicly available data for Editor-in-Chief (EiC) and Second-in-Command (SiC) (including deputy, senior, or associate editors). Descriptive statistics and chi-squared were estimated. In the second phase of the study, editors were emailed a 4-item survey to self-identify their demographics.
Out of 793 editorial board members, 72.6% were men and 27.4% were women. Editorial leadership were non-Hispanic white (71.1%) with Asian editorial board members representing the second largest majority at 22.5%. Women comprised only 15.9% of the EiC positions (90% White and 10% Asian). Women were about half as likely to be in the EiC position compared with men [pOR 0.47 (95% CI, 0.23-0.95, P = .03)]. Women represented 28.3% of SiC editorial positions. Surgical oncology had the lowest female representation at 2.3%.
Women and minorities are significantly underrepresented in leadership roles on Editorial Boards in hematology/oncology journals. Importantly, the representation of minority women physicians in EiC positions is at an inexorable zero.

摘要：
背景：女性和医学代表性不足的群体在血液学/肿瘤学领域的学术领导职位很少。在这项研究中,我们评估了血液学/肿瘤学期刊编辑委员会的性别和种族/民族代表性.
方法：对来自60种主要血液学和肿瘤学期刊的编辑领导委员会成员进行了综述；54种期刊被纳入最终分析。性别和种族/民族是根据总编辑（EiC）和第二指挥（SiC）的公开数据确定的（包括副，高级,或副编辑)。估计了描述性统计和卡方。在研究的第二阶段，编辑们通过电子邮件发送了一份4项调查，以自我识别他们的人口统计数据。
结果：在793名编辑委员会成员中，72.6%为男性，27.4%为女性。编辑领导是非西班牙裔白人（71.1％），亚洲编辑委员会成员占第二大多数，占22.5％。女性仅占EiC职位的15.9％（90％的白人和10％的亚洲人）。与男性相比，女性处于EiC职位的可能性约为一半[pOR为0.47（95％CI，0.23-0.95，P=.03）]。妇女占SiC编辑职位的28.3%。肿瘤学外科的女性比例最低，为2.3%。
结论：在血液学/肿瘤学期刊的编辑委员会中，女性和少数族裔在领导角色中的代表性明显不足。重要的是,少数族裔女医生在EiC职位上的代表性为零。
