The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of women authorship in France and to analyze the recent trends of the evolution of gender differences in French academic radiology.
A retrospective bibliometric analysis was performed by searching for articles published in Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging (Diagn Interv Imaging) and in Journal de Radiologie (J Radiol) in Pubmed over the last three decades. For each of these articles, we determined the gender of the first and last author. The specific radiological field of each article was also determined.
The proportion of women authors has significantly increased from 12% in 1984 to 34% in 2014 (P<0.0001) for the first authors and from 11% (11/96) in 1984 to 20% (38/193) in 2014 for last authors (P =0.03).
Women authorship in Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging has increased over the last years together with the proportion of women first authors. However, the fraction of women last authors is still underrepresented. More women need to become leaders in radiological research to contribute to stimulate women authorship.
本研究旨在评估法国女性作者在医学影像学领域的发展,并分析法国学术放射学领域性别差异的最新演变趋势。
通过在 Pubmed 中检索过去三十年在 Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging(诊断与介入影像学)和 Journal de Radiologie(放射学杂志)上发表的文章,进行回顾性的文献计量学分析。对于每篇文章,我们确定第一作者和最后作者的性别。还确定了每篇文章的具体放射学领域。
第一作者中女性作者的比例从 1984 年的 12%显著增加到 2014 年的 34%(P<0.0001),最后作者中女性作者的比例从 1984 年的 11%(11/96)增加到 2014 年的 20%(38/193)(P=0.03)。
近年来,在 Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging 中,女性作者的比例与第一作者中女性的比例一起增加。然而,最后作者中女性的比例仍然不足。需要更多的女性成为放射学研究的领导者,以促进女性作者的发展。
