Women Make Up a Tiny Percentage of Editors of Scientific Journals

A new study led by researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi examined the gender disparity in the makeup of editorial boards of scientific journals. The researchers used algorithmic tools to infer the gender of 81,000 editors serving more than 1,000 journals and 15 disciplines over five decades. The results show that only 14 percent of the editors were women. Only 8 percent of editors-in-chief were women.
