Geschlechterunterschiede bei wissenschaftlichen Publikationen
Gender differences in scientific publications
Zusammenfassung
Ziel
Ziel dieser Untersuchung war es, die Repräsentation von Frauen in der deutschsprachigen wissenschaftlichen Publikationslandschaft der HNO-Heilkunde zu untersuchen.
Methoden
Die Autor*innenschaft wurde anhand von Artikeln überprüft, die zwischen 2013 und 2023 in den 2 größten HNO-Fachzeitschriften (Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie, HNO) veröffentlicht wurden, um die Häufigkeit und den prozentualen Anteil des Geschlechts bei der Erst- und Letztautor*innenschaft zu ermitteln.
Ergebnisse
Insgesamt wurden 2631 Artikel untersucht. Bei 699 (26,6%) der veröffentlichten Artikel waren Frauen Erstautorinnen und bei 384 (14,6%) der veröffentlichten Artikel waren Frauen Letztautorinnen. Es konnten deutliche Trends für den Anstieg des Frauenanteils beobachtet werden: Erstautorinnenpublikationen stiegen innerhalb des analysierten 10-Jahres-Zeitraums von 19,9% auf 34,5%, Letztautorinnenpublikationen stiegen von 9,4% auf 19,0%.
Fazit
Der Anteil der Frauen, die Artikel als Erst- oder Letztautorin in der Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde veröffentlichen, ist zwar steigend, aber immer noch dürftig. Bemühungen zur Förderung der Geschlechtervielfalt können den Anteil von Frauen unter den Autor*innen von HNO-Literatur weiter erhöhen.
Zusammenfassung
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the representation of women in the German-speaking scientific publication landscape of otorhinolaryngology.
Methods
Authorship was analyzed based on articles published between 2013 and 2023 in the two largest otorhinolaryngology journals (Laryngorhinootologie, HNO) to determine the frequency and percentage of gender distribution among first and last authorships.
Results
A total of 2,631 articles were examined. Women were first authors in 699 articles (26.6%) and last authors in 384 articles (14.6%). Clear trends indicating an increase in the proportion of women were observed: First-author publications rose from 19.9% to 34.5% over the analyzed 10-year period, while last-author publications increased from 9.4% to 19.0%.
Conclusion
The proportion of women publishing as first or last authors in otorhinolaryngology is rising but remains low. Efforts to promote gender diversity could further increase the proportion of women among the authors in otorhinolaryngology literature.
