Editorial: Analysis of author gender in TPB, 1991–2018. (English) Zbl 1425.01127
From the conclusion: We have observed that the current fraction of female authorships, 18.8% for 2012–2018, exceeds the 7.4% for 1970–1990, and that the trajectory continues to show a modest upward trend. We have also found that the fraction of female authors in TPB, the pattern of female authorship by position in author lists, and temporal trends in female authorship generally reflect patterns in adjacent disciplines.
