The number and percentage of women chief editors of journals publishing prosthodontic science is unknown.
The purpose of this observational study was to calculate and compare the number and percentage of women and men chief editors of journals publishing prosthodontic science.
A list of the dental journals, as ranked by impact factor, was obtained through the Web of Science Journal Citation Reports 2020 using the category "Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine." Of the 91 journals listed in the Journal Citation Report, 28 published scientific findings related to prosthodontics. The chief editors of these 28 journals were identified, and their gender was recorded. The percentage of women and men chief editors was compared with the percentage of women and men members of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) and the International College of Prosthodontists (ICP) by using the binomial test (α=.05).
Of the 28 included journals, a total of 32 chief editors were identified; of whom, 4 (12.5%) were women and 28 (87.5%) were men. There were 7886 members of the IADR who reported their gender; of whom, 3448 (43.7%) were women. There were 906 members of the ICP; of whom, 248 (27.5%) were women. Compared with the percentage of women and men members of the IADR and ICP, women chief editors were significantly underrepresented (P<.001 and P=.039, respectively).
The number and percentage of women chief editors of journals publishing prosthodontic science is of concern.
发表口腔修复学科学文献的期刊的女主编人数和比例尚不清楚。
本观察性研究的目的是计算和比较发表口腔修复学科学文献的期刊的女主编和男主编的人数和比例。
通过 Web of Science Journal Citation Reports 2020 使用“牙科学、口腔外科学和医学”类别获得按影响因子排名的牙科期刊列表。在期刊引文报告中列出的 91 种期刊中,有 28 种期刊发表了与口腔修复学相关的科学发现。确定了这些 28 种期刊的主编,并记录了他们的性别。使用二项式检验(α=.05)比较这些期刊的女主编和男主编的比例与国际牙科研究协会(IADR)和国际口腔修复学会(ICP)的女主编和男主编的比例。
在所纳入的 28 种期刊中,共确定了 32 位主编;其中,4 位(12.5%)是女性,28 位(87.5%)是男性。IADR 有 7886 名报告其性别的成员;其中,3448 名(43.7%)是女性。ICP 有 906 名成员;其中,248 名(27.5%)是女性。与 IADR 和 ICP 的女性和男性成员的比例相比,女性主编的比例明显较低(P<.001 和 P=.039)。
发表口腔修复学科学文献的期刊的女主编人数和比例令人关注。
