Editors‐in‐Chief (EiC) play a key role as gatekeepers in academic medicine, often shaping research agendas. Women have historically been underrepresented in editorial leadership roles in academic medicine. The purpose of this study was to examine gender representation among EiC of contemporary transplantation and nephrology journals.
Methods
This cross‐sectional study evaluated gender disparities among EiC of transplantation and nephrology medical journals. The study population was drawn from journals in two subject categories (1) ‘Transplantation’ and (2) ‘Urology and Nephrology’ in the 2023 Journal Citation Reports. Binary gender classification (woman/man) was determined by the names/pronouns used to describe the EiC on the journal or institutional webpage. The primary outcome was the proportion of women EiC. Secondary outcome was the proportion of women EiC based on journal topic, location and metrics. Descriptive statistics were used. Gender differences were compared using students t‐test or Fisher's exact test.
Results
A total of 79 EiC were identified of which 16 (20%) were women and 63 (80%) were men (p |

Women have historically been underrepresented in editorial leadership roles in academic medicine. The purpose of this study was to examine gender representation among EiC of contemporary transplantation and nephrology journals.
Methods
This cross‐sectional study evaluated gender disparities among EiC of transplantation and nephrology medical journals. The study population was drawn from journals in two subject categories (1) ‘Transplantation’ and (2) ‘Urology and Nephrology’ in the 2023 Journal Citation Reports. Binary gender classification (woman/man) was determined by the names/pronouns used to describe the EiC on the journal or institutional webpage. The primary outcome was the proportion of women EiC. Secondary outcome was the proportion of women EiC based on journal topic, location and metrics. Descriptive statistics were used. Gender differences were compared using students t‐test or Fisher's exact test.
Results
A total of 79 EiC were identified of which 16 (20%) were women and 63 (80%) were men (p < .001). Transplantation and nephrology journals had 21% and 20% women EiC, respectively. The proportion of women to men EiC was not impacted by journal category (p = .93), journal location (p = .61), journal impact factor (p = .71) or quartile (p = .59).
Conclusion
There was a disparity in gender representation in EiC in nephrology and transplantation journals, with men holding 80% of all positions. These findings, among growing evidence of gender disparity, highlight a need for targeted efforts to promote gender equity in academic medicine.
Summary at a Glance
This cross‐sectional analysis finds significant underrepresentation of women as Editors‐in‐Chief (EiC) in Nephrology and Transplantation journals irrespective of journal category, region or metrics. This further exemplifies the systemic gender disparities in academic medicine. There is need for continued research agendas focused on addressing equity of gender inclusion in academic medicine.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1320-5358</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1440-1797</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1440-1797</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/nep.14383</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39209327</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Melbourne: John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd</publisher><subject>Clinical Nephrology ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Editorial Policies ; Female ; Gender ; Gender Equity ; Humans ; Leadership ; Male ; Nephrology ; Nephrology - statistics & numerical data ; Nephrology - trends ; Original ; Periodicals as Topic - statistics & numerical data ; Physicians, Women - statistics & numerical data ; Physicians, Women - trends ; Population studies ; Sex differences ; Sex Factors ; Sexism - statistics & numerical data ; Statistical analysis ; Transplantation</subject><ispartof>Nephrology (Carlton, Vic.), 2024-12, Vol.29 (12), p.895-900</ispartof><rights>2024 The Author(s). published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology.</rights><rights>2024 The Author(s).
