Is there a Matilda Effect in Communication Journals?
The Matilda Effect (ME) predicts women scholars are less likely to be rewarded than men scholars with comparable accomplishments. One manifestation of the ME is bias in relation to citations to an author’s work as a function of gender. ME was tested in eight communication journals for 10 publishing years (2002–2006, 2012–2016). Mixed results were found across 3,324 articles with two journals exhibiting ME effects among the eight examined. For a subset of six journals, men were more likely to cite their own work compared to women. Findings across datasets showed three analyses were statistically significant and two were not significant. Study findings are discussed and it was suggested future research examine a greater number of journals.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
