背景:考虑到缩小牙科奖学金性别差距的证据,这项研究评估了女性作为作者的参与,审稿人,以及2000年至2022年的《美国牙科协会杂志》(JADA)编辑委员会成员。
方法:研究作者从PubMed下载作者姓名,并从JADA页面检索审稿人和编辑委员会成员的姓名。作者使用Gender-API软件根据名字确定性别。他们使用逻辑回归来测试趋势。
结果:从2000年1月到2022年12月,有2,935篇全长文章,2,775名审稿人,4主编,和85名编辑委员会成员。女性作者的百分比每年增加1.2%(95%CI,1.03%至1.33%),2022年达到47%。第一作者每年增长2.1%(95%CI,1.84%至2.39%),自2016年以来一直超过50%。在有多个作者的文章中,有适度的增加;第二作者每年增加0.7%(95%CI,0.36%至1.09%),最后作者增加0.7%(95%CI,0.03%至1.00%)。女性审稿人每年增长0.8%(95%CI,0.68%至0.97%),但编委会中的女性比例没有显著增加,2022年为41%.
结论:预计到2024年,50%的JADA作者将是女性。然而,妇女在编辑委员会中的代表性仍然不足。需要全面努力培养榜样,为女性提供指导机会,并支持妇女在牙科研究和出版物方面的专业进步。
结论:基于性别的差异影响女性在牙科教育和临床实践中的工作。担任编辑委员会成员,审阅者,或作者可以影响学术推广和正在进行的科学研究的类型,并间接影响女性的健康结果。
BACKGROUND: Considering evidence of closing the gender gap in dental scholarship, this study assessed women\'s participation as authors, reviewers, and members of the editorial board for The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) from 2000 through 2022.
METHODS: The study authors downloaded author names from PubMed and retrieved names of reviewers and editorial board members from JADA\'s pages. The authors used Gender-API software to determine gender on the basis of first names. They used logistic regression to test for trends.
RESULTS: From January 2000 through December 2022, there were 2,935 full-length articles, 2,775 reviewers, 4 editors in chief, and 85 editorial board members. The percentage of women authors increased by 1.2% annually (95% CI, 1.03% to 1.33%), reaching 47% in 2022. First authorship increased by 2.1% annually (95% CI, 1.84% to 2.39%) and has been at more than 50% since 2016. In articles with multiple authors, there was a modest increase; second authorship increased 0.7% annually (95% CI, 0.36% to 1.09%) and last authorship by 0.7% (95% CI, 0.03% to 1.00%). Women reviewers increased 0.8% annually (95% CI, 0.68% to 0.97%), but the percentage of women on the editorial board did not increase significantly and was 41% in 2022.
CONCLUSIONS: It was anticipated that 50% of JADA authors would be women by 2024. However, women are still underrepresented on the editorial board. A comprehensive effort is needed to foster role models, provide mentorship opportunities for women, and support women\'s professional advancement in dental research and publications.
CONCLUSIONS: Gender-based disparities affect women in dental education and clinical practice. Serving as an editorial board member, reviewer, or author can affect academic promotion and the type of scientific investigation being conducted and indirectly affects women\'s health outcomes.
