The purpose of this study was to quantify the representation of women among the authors and editorial board members of prominent general orthopedics journals and to determine how these proportions have changed over time. Gender was determined for the authors of all original research studies, case reports, and review articles published in 2 prominent general orthopedics journals in 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2007. Gender was also determined for each individual serving on the editorial boards of these journals during these years. Between 1970 and 2007, the representation of women increased from 0.8% to 6.5% among first authors (P<.001), from 0.0% to 4.3% among last authors (P = .015), and from 1.6% to 5.4% among editorial board members (P = .16). However, the rates of increase observed in orthopedics were lower than those observed in other fields (P<.05). Between 1970 and 2007, female representation increased significantly among physicians publishing in 2 prominent general orthopedics journals, but these rates of increase were lower than those observed in other fields of medicine.
本研究的目的是量化著名普通骨科学期刊的作者和编辑委员会成员中女性的占比，并确定这些比例随时间的变化情况。确定了1970年、1980年、1990年、2000年和2007年在2种著名普通骨科学期刊上发表的所有原创性研究、病例报告和综述文章作者的性别。还确定了这些年份中在这些期刊编辑委员会任职的每位成员的性别。1970年至2007年期间，第一作者中女性的占比从0.8%增至6.5%（P<0.001），最后作者中女性的占比从0.0%增至4.3%（P = 0.015），编辑委员会成员中女性的占比从1.6%增至5.4%（P = 0.16）。然而，骨科学领域观察到的增长速度低于其他领域（P<0.05）。1970年至2007年期间，在2种著名普通骨科学期刊上发表文章的医生中女性占比显著增加，但这些增长速度低于其他医学领域。
