The number of women with careers in medicine and with academic positions at medical schools has increased substantially since the 1980s; however, women remain underrepresented in medical academia, which may be because of the fewer research publications authored by women. This study aimed to determine the gender distribution among Turkish authors of psychiatry articles published in international scientific journals during a 30-year period.
The ISI Web of Science database was searched for all psychiatry publications between 1980 and 2009 using the search term Turkey. All articles were classified according to publication period (1980-1989, 1990-1999, 2000-2004, and 2005-2009), gender of the first and last authors, first author title, total number of authors, and type of article.
In all, 1961 articles meet the study criteria. The first author of 36.5% of the articles and 34.9% of last authors were women. The percentage of female first and last authors did not differ according to publication period (p=0.57).
To the best of our knowledge this is the first study to examine gender and authorship of psychiatric research in Turkey. In total, 33% of academic positions in Turkish university psychiatry departments were occupied by women, which is comparable to the percentage of female first authors of psychiatric research papers from Turkey. It could be concluded that women academics in psychiatry departments from state universities are as reproductive as their male counterparts, but there is still a "gender gap" in psychiatry field in our country.
自20世纪80年代以来，从事医学职业并在医学院担任学术职位的女性人数大幅增加；然而，女性在医学学术界的代表性仍然不足，这可能是因为女性撰写的研究论文较少。本研究旨在确定30年间在国际科学期刊上发表的精神病学文章的土耳其作者的性别分布情况。
使用搜索词“土耳其”在ISI科学网数据库中搜索1980年至2009年间所有的精神病学出版物。所有文章根据发表时期（1980 - 1989年、1990 - 1999年、2000 - 2004年和2005 - 2009年）、第一作者和最后作者的性别、第一作者职称、作者总数以及文章类型进行分类。
共有1961篇文章符合研究标准。36.5%的文章第一作者和34.9%的文章最后作者为女性。女性第一作者和最后作者的比例在不同发表时期没有差异（p = 0.57）。
据我们所知，这是第一项研究土耳其精神病学研究中的性别与作者身份的研究。土耳其大学精神病学系33%的学术职位由女性担任，这与土耳其精神病学研究论文第一作者中女性的比例相当。可以得出结论，国立大学精神病学系的女性学者与男性学者一样多产，但我国精神病学领域仍存在“性别差距”。
