description OBJECTIVE To evaluate the representation of women authors and editorial board members at 3 pediatric journals. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of original research articles published in Pediatrics, The Journal of Pediatrics, and JAMA Pediatrics from 2001 to 2022. We analyzed five 1-year intervals and inferred the binary gender of authors by first name. Cochran-Armitage tests evaluated trends in gender proportion of authorship and editorial board membership over time. Pearson's χ2 tests compared United States (US) authorship position and faculty rank as determined by Association of American Medical Colleges' data.

RESULTS From 2001 to 2022, 4426 original research articles were studied (exclusion rate &lt;1%). There was a 23.7%, 15.9%, and 28.8% increase in proportion of women as first authors, senior authors, and editorial board members globally, with all trends significant over time (P &lt; .01). In 2022, US women were 67.3% of first authors, only slightly lower than the 68.6% of women junior faculty (P = .01). US women were 48.0% of US senior authors, equivalent to the 47.5% of US women senior faculty (P = .18). US women represented 47.4% of US editorial board members, equivalent to their percentage as senior faculty (P = .98). CONCLUSIONS The percentage of US and international women authorship and editorial board membership has steadily increased. The percentage of US women as junior faculty and first authors is almost equivalent. The percentage of US women as senior faculty, senior authors, and editorial board members is equivalent but significantly reduced from their junior faculty representation.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0031-4005</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1098-4275</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1542/peds.2023-062576</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Evanston: American Academy of Pediatrics</publisher><subject>Authorship ; Editorials ; Gender ; Pediatrics ; Trends</subject><ispartof>Pediatrics (Evanston), 2023-10, Vol.152 (4)</ispartof><rights>Copyright American Academy of Pediatrics Oct 2023</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c257t-38b2eb0b98a79e8a4b24cb7284b6900eab8c7bd957971bf1ecf23b435d8b8d303</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Williams, Wadsworth A.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Sundaresan, Manu S.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ross, Lainie Friedman</creatorcontrib><title>Representation of Women in Published Articles at 3 Academic Pediatric Journals: 2001 to 2022</title><title>Pediatrics (Evanston)</title><description>OBJECTIVE To evaluate the representation of women authors and editorial board members at 3 pediatric journals.
