The number of women in higher education has increased over the past few decades but are still not at an equal level to their male counterparts, especially at the tenured level. One area of note within the tenure process is research. This area is highly valued by certain universities and could shed light on discrepancies in the number of female faculty as the faculty position becomes more prestigious. The author downloaded 21 years of publication data for seven prestigious behavior analytic journals and used quantitative methods to determine if the rates of publication differed between a previous study and today. There were 8,778 final articles yielding 27,225 authors in total. Data showed that women are represented more frequently overall, across time and all journals, less frequently in prestigious authorship positions, and more often when the sex of the editor at the time of publication was also female. While women's participation has increased over time, and since the original study, there is still disproportionate representation compared to the entirety of the field, in the order of authorship positions, and for editor-in-chief positions.
在过去几十年里，接受高等教育的女性人数有所增加，但仍未与男性达到平等水平，尤其是在终身教职层面。终身教职评定过程中一个值得注意的方面是研究。某些大学高度重视这一领域，随着教职地位变得更具声望，这一领域可能会揭示女性教员数量上的差异。作者下载了7种著名行为分析期刊21年的出版数据，并使用定量方法来确定当前与之前一项研究相比，出版率是否有所不同。最终有8778篇文章，总计27225位作者。数据显示，总体而言，在所有时间和所有期刊中，女性作者出现的频率更高；在享有声望的作者排名中，女性出现的频率较低；而当发表文章时的编辑为女性时，女性作者出现的频率更高。虽然随着时间推移以及自最初的研究以来，女性的参与度有所提高，但与整个领域相比，在作者排名顺序以及主编职位方面，女性的代表性仍然不均衡。
