The need for gender parity within academic surgery has resulted in an analysis of the trends in female authorship in the American general surgery literature.
Original articles from five American surgical journals from 1997, 2007, and 2017 were reviewed. Trends in the proportion of female authors were evaluated.
There was an incremental increase in female first authors over the three time periods (15% in 1997, 32.2% in 2007, and 52.7% in 2017; P < 0.001). The proportion of articles by female senior authors also increased over the study periods (18.7% in 1997, 28.8% in 2007, and 52.6% in 2017; P < 0.001). However, there were fewer female authors with basic science research publications than males (17.4% vs. 82.6%, P < 0.001).
The academic productivity of female surgeons have increased over time likely due to an increase in the number of female academic surgeons in recent years. These findings are encouraging and demonstrate progress in female representation in surgery.
在学术外科领域需要性别平等，这导致对美国普通外科学文献中女性作者的趋势进行了分析。
回顾了 1997 年、2007 年和 2017 年的五本美国外科杂志的原始文章。评估了女性作者比例的趋势。
在三个时期内，女性第一作者的比例逐渐增加（1997 年为 15%，2007 年为 32.2%，2017 年为 52.7%；P<0.001）。女性资深作者的文章比例也在研究期间增加（1997 年为 18.7%，2007 年为 28.8%，2017 年为 52.6%；P<0.001）。然而，从事基础科学研究的女性作者比例低于男性（17.4%对 82.6%，P<0.001）。
女性外科医生的学术生产力随着时间的推移而增加，这可能是由于近年来女性学术外科医生数量的增加。这些发现令人鼓舞，表明在外科领域女性代表的进步。
