The proportion of women editorial board members and authors of editorials in major gastroenterology journals is not known.
We determined the sex of editorial board members (n = 2,282) and authors of editorials (n = 1,705) across 6 journals from 1985 to 2020 at 5-year intervals.
The proportion of women editorial board members increased from 2.9% in 1985 to 19.8% in 2020 (P < 0.0001) and women authors of editorials increased from 0% in 1985 to 22.2% in 2020 (P < 0.0001).
The proportion of women represented over time has improved, but opportunities likely exist to improve further.
在主要的胃肠病学杂志中，编辑委员会成员和社论作者中女性的比例尚不清楚。
我们每隔 5 年在 6 种期刊中确定了 1985 年至 2020 年期间编辑委员会成员（n = 2282）和社论作者（n = 1705）的性别。
女性编辑委员会成员的比例从 1985 年的 2.9%增加到 2020 年的 19.8%（P < 0.0001），而女性社论作者的比例从 1985 年的 0%增加到 2020 年的 22.2%（P < 0.0001）。
随着时间的推移，女性代表的比例有所提高，但可能还有进一步提高的空间。
