    Despite improvement in gender inequality in Australian science, the problem has not been fully addressed yet. To better understand the nature of gender inequality in Australian science, all gendered Australian first authored articles published between 2010 and 2020 and indexed in the Dimensions database were analysed. Field of Research (FoR) was used as the subject classification of articles and Field Citation Ratio (FCR) was used for citation comparison. Overall, the ratio of female to male first authored articles increased over the years, and this was true for all FoRs except for information and computing sciences. The ratio of single-authored articles by females was also improved over the study period. Females appeared to have a citation advantage, using Field Citation Ratio, over males in a few FoRs including mathematical sciences, chemical sciences, technology, built environment and design, studies in human society, law and legal studies, and studies in creative arts and writing. The average FCR for female first authored articles was greater than the average FCR for male first authored articles, including in a few fields such mathematical sciences where male authors outperformed females in terms of the number of articles.

    Comparatively little attention has been given to a contemporary examination on the gender disparities in publishing within the Communication field. The major goal of the research was to examine female scholars’ publishing performance and determine whether gender disparity exists in the publication rate of each gender. This study utilized bibliometric methods to conduct a gendered analysis of the publication rates among female and male lead authors in the top five Chinese Journalism and Communication journals from 2011 to 2020. The results confirmed the presence of consistent gender differences in the percentage of articles published by female and male authors. Data analysis also revealed an ongoing tendency towards decline due to female’s increasing educational background, improved academic collaboration and intensified government interventions. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the current status of female scholars and may be used to promote discussion and actions related to gender and equity. © 2023 The Author(s).

    This study comprehensively analyses gender representation and citation disparities in gender studies by examining the position of female scholars as first and corresponding authors. The research uncovers a pattern of gender-homogeneous co-authorship and investigates the geographical and economic disparities in academic contributions, scrutinising the impact of a country’s economic status on citation rates and open-access publications, particularly in relation to citation rates and open-access publications. The study uses a Logistics Regression and Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Regression model to explore factors influencing open-access publication and citation rates. The study’s findings demonstrate the predominant presence of female scholars in gender-focused literature within social sciences, in contrast to their underrepresentation in STEM fields. The findings also reveal a tendency towards gender-homogenous collaborations and a significant concentration of scholarly output from the high-income regions, highlighting both geographic and economic disparities. The present study provides an analytical foundation for future studies on the global distribution of scholarly contributions and the complex interplay of various factors affecting academic publishing in gender studies. © Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary 2024.
