摘要
我们的假设探讨了女性在牙根学界领导职位的代表性,以评估2010年至2023年男性和女性的发表参与情况,并通过比较男性和女性教员排名、性别和引文影响来检验学术排名差异。方法:从PubMed检索2010 - 2023年《Journal of Endodontics》、《International Endodontic Journal》和《Dental trauma》的出版物中下载作者姓名。编辑委员会成员和审稿人均来自期刊页面。使用性别API软件根据名字确定性别。2022年,在美国牙髓医师协会网站上确定了54个美国牙髓学研究生院系,并在院系网站上验证了教师信息和排名。各自的h指数分数是使用Harzing的发布或消亡软件计算的。结果:在36587位作者中,35%为女性,并且女性作者的比例每年增加0.5% (95% CI = 0.3 ~ 0.6)。与女性相比,男性发表的文章比女性多,担任审稿人的人数超过女性,在编辑委员会中担任的职位也更多。美国牙髓学项目的教育领导29%是女性。23%的主席、21%的研究生主任和47%的博士预科主任职位都是女性(P = 0.013)。然而,在美国的学术领袖中,在调整学术影响和领导角色后,教师排名与性别无关(P=0.396)。结论:最终,领导角色预测的是职位,而不是性别。这表明女性需要采取行动申请更多的领导职位。
Gender Equity in Endodontic Scholarship and Academia
Introduction
Our hypothesis explored representation in women's leadership positions in endodontic academia to assess publication participation of men and women from 2010 to 2023 and to test academic rank disparities by comparing men and women faculty rank, gender, and citation impact.
Methods
Authors' names were downloaded from a PubMed search of publications in the Journal of Endodontics, International Endodontic Journal, and Dental Traumatology between 2010 and 2023. Editorial board members and reviewers were obtained from journal pages. Gender API software was used to determine gender based on first names. Fifty-four United States endodontic postgraduate departments were identified on the American Association of Endodontists website in 2022, and faculty information and rank were verified on departmental websites. Respective H-index scores were calculated using Harzing's Publish or Perish software.
Results
Of the 36,587 authors, 35% were women, and the percentage of women authors increased by 0.5% per year (95% CI = 0.3–0.6). Compared to women, men published more than women, outnumbered women as reviewers, and held more positions on editorial boards. The educational leadership of the United States endodontics programs is 29% women. Women comprise 23% of chairs, 21% of postgraduate directors, and 47% of predoctoral director positions (P = .013). However, among academic leaders in the United States, faculty rank is not associated with gender (P = .396) after scholarly impact and leadership roles are adjusted for.
Conclusions
Ultimately, the leadership role predicts rank, not gender. This suggests that women need to take action to apply for more leadership positions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Endodontics, the official journal of the American Association of Endodontists, publishes scientific articles, case reports and comparison studies evaluating materials and methods of pulp conservation and endodontic treatment. Endodontists and general dentists can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation in the one journal that helps them keep pace with rapid changes in this field.
