The presence of women in decision-making positions, such as on editorial committees of biomedical journals, is not the same as that of men. This paper analyzes the gender composition of editorial committees (EBMs) and editors-in-chief (ECs) positions of pediatric journals.
The gender of EBMs and ECs of 125 journals classified in the pediatrics area of the Journal Citation Report (JCR) was analyzed. The following indicators were calculated: gender distribution of ECs and EBMs by journal, publisher, subject speciality, country, quartile of the journal in JCR and country of affiliation of the members.
The total number of EBMs was 4242. The distribution by sex of the ECs was 19.44% women and 80.56% men, while that of the EBMs were 33.05% women and 66.95% men. Twenty journals exhibited a greater representation of women than of men, and in four there was parity. Journals with greater participation of women specialized in nursing and physical therapy and were related to nutrition (lactation and breastfeeding).
Only one-fifth of ECs and one-third of EBMs are females. Women's participation is higher in journals related to nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and nutrition. The United States has the highest number of EBMs, followed by the European Union.
Only one-fifth of Editors-in-chief in pediatrics journals are female. Only one-third of Editorial Board Members in pediatrics journals are female. Women's participation is higher in editorials committees in pediatrics journals related to nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and nutrition. Medical and pediatric associations and societies must work together to eliminate the disparities that exist between women and men. Achieving gender equity and empowering all women is one of the World Health Organization's Sustainable Development Goals.
在决策职位上，如生物医学期刊编辑委员会中，女性的占比与男性不同。本文分析了儿科期刊编辑委员会（EBMs）和主编（ECs）职位的性别构成。
对《期刊引证报告》（JCR）儿科领域分类的125种期刊的EBMs和ECs的性别进行了分析。计算了以下指标：按期刊、出版商、学科专业、国家、期刊在JCR中的四分位数以及成员所属国家划分的ECs和EBMs的性别分布。
EBMs总数为4242人。ECs的性别分布为女性占19.44%，男性占80.56%，而EBMs的性别分布为女性占33.05%，男性占66.95%。20种期刊中女性的占比高于男性，4种期刊中男女比例持平。女性参与度较高的期刊专门涉及护理和物理治疗，且与营养（哺乳和母乳喂养）相关。
只有五分之一的ECs和三分之一的EBMs是女性。女性在与护理、物理和职业治疗以及营养相关的期刊中的参与度较高。美国的EBMs数量最多，其次是欧盟。
儿科期刊中只有五分之一的主编是女性。儿科期刊中只有三分之一的编辑委员会成员是女性。女性在与护理、物理和职业治疗以及营养相关的儿科期刊编辑委员会中的参与度较高。医学和儿科协会及学会必须共同努力消除男女之间存在的差距。实现性别平等并赋予所有女性权力是世界卫生组织的可持续发展目标之一。
