Abstract
The scientific, intellectual, and academic environment, in recent decades, has been characterized by a high presence of male researchers and reduced female participation. Although there was variation between the areas of knowledge, the male predominance was considered unquestionable. In this context, the article aims to evaluate the female publication of the Boletim Paulista de Geografia (BPG) and its keywords, between 1949 and 2018. The bibliometric software Publish or Perish (PoP), VOSViewer and Bibliometrix were used to analyze the respective metrics and indexes. The results obtained showed that, of the 485 articles in the journal, 34% had female participation. The predominance of male-authored articles prevailed until the 1980s. The increase in joint publication of both genders occurred from 2000 and gender parity was observed from 2007. And, considering that the keywords related to teaching stood out, the interpretation is that the BPG reinforces an international trend of gender equality in publications, but with inequalities between the areas of knowledge. © 2023 Universidade Federal do Parana.
