Abstract

Objective: Women in academia publish fewer papers and receive fewer citations than men. These gender gaps likely reflect systemic biases operating over several levels, from journal editorial policies to academic career progression. This study sought to characterize gender gaps for publications and citations in the field of gambling studies.

Method: An automated gender inference procedure classified authors' binarized gender from their first names. Gender gaps were computed for publications and citations of papers in gambling studies, using the wider field of addiction science as a benchmark. Publication data were scraped from eight peer-reviewed gambling/addictions journals and separately from all gambling publications listed in PubMed.

Results: Men authored 16% more publications than women among gambling papers and 23% more publications among nongambling addictions papers. Although robust gender gaps were observed in specialist gambling journals, we find limited overall evidence for gender inequality being greater in gambling studies. Indeed, among nongambling addiction papers, men published more, despite a greater apparent representation of women in the field. The gender gap was most pronounced for the last authorships, denoting seniority. Among the first authorships, there was variability between journals, and some journals displayed approximate parity. There was limited evidence for any corresponding gender gap in citation counts.

Conclusions: Gender gaps in gambling research, and addiction science more broadly, adhere to wider trends in academia, including the associations with academic seniority. Variability between individual journals supports the role of journal editorial policies to increase the representation and visibility of women researchers in addiction science.

赌博研究论文发表和引用方面的性别差距:与成瘾科学进行比较。
目的与男性相比,女性在学术界发表的论文更少,获得的引用也更少。这些性别差距可能反映了从期刊编辑政策到学术职业发展等多个层面的系统性偏见。本研究试图描述赌博研究领域中发表论文和被引用次数的性别差距:方法:自动性别推断程序根据作者姓名对其二进制性别进行分类。以更广泛的成瘾科学领域为基准,计算了赌博研究领域论文发表和引用的性别差距。出版数据来自八份同行评议的赌博/成瘾期刊,并分别来自 PubMed 上列出的所有赌博出版物:在赌博论文中,男性发表的论文比女性多 16%,在非赌博成瘾论文中,男性发表的论文比女性多 23%。虽然在专业赌博期刊中观察到了明显的性别差距,但我们发现赌博研究中性别不平等现象更为严重的总体证据有限。事实上,在非赌博成瘾论文中,男性发表的论文更多,尽管女性在该领域的代表性更明显。性别差距在代表资历的最后作者中最为明显。在第一作者中,不同期刊之间存在差异,有些期刊显示出近似均等。在引用次数方面,相应的性别差距证据有限:赌博研究中的性别差距,以及更广泛的成瘾科学中的性别差距,与学术界更广泛的趋势相一致,包括与学术资历的关联。各个期刊之间的差异支持期刊编辑政策在提高女性研究人员在成瘾科学领域的代表性和知名度方面的作用。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
