BACKGROUND
Despite women constituting over half of new doctors, gender disparity remains an issue. Surgery has shown particularly slow progress towards gender parity. This study aimed to quantify gender representation within editorial boards of the highest ranking international general surgery journals.
METHODS
Surgical journals were collated using two indices: SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Non-general surgery journals were excluded. Journals were contacted, requesting gender editorial team demographics. Editorial board data were collected via journal websites on 28 November 2019.
RESULTS
The top 25 general surgery journals according to SJR and JIF ranking methods were determined, identifying 28 unique journals. Editorial board data were publicly available for 27 of these 28 surgical journals, and were examined. Women accounted for 20.2 per cent (568 of 2816) of total editorial board positions. Women constituted 11 per cent (4 of 36) of editor-in-chief positions, 32 per cent (29 of 92) of deputy editors, and 19.1 per cent (369 of 1935) of general editorial board positions.
CONCLUSION
The findings demonstrate gender disparity within editorial boards of the most prominent general surgery journals.
背景
尽管女性占新医生的一半以上，但性别差距仍然是一个问题。外科手术在实现性别均等方面进展尤其缓慢。本研究旨在量化最高排名国际普通外科期刊编辑委员会中的性别代表性。
方法
使用两个指数：SCImago 期刊排名（SJR）和期刊影响因子（JIF）来整理外科期刊。排除非普通外科期刊。联系期刊，要求提供性别编辑团队的人口统计数据。于 2019 年 11 月 28 日通过期刊网站收集编辑委员会数据。
结果
根据 SJR 和 JIF 排名方法确定了排名前 25 的普通外科期刊，确定了 28 种独特的期刊。这 28 种外科期刊中有 27 种的编辑委员会数据是公开的，对其进行了检查。女性占总编辑委员会职位的 20.2%（568/2816）。女性担任主编职位的比例为 11%（4/36），副主编的比例为 32%（29/92），普通编辑委员会职位的比例为 19.1%（369/1935）。
结论
研究结果表明，最著名的普通外科期刊的编辑委员会中存在性别差距。
