| description | <p>– Women account for about a third of all authors who published papers related to COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak in January 2020. Women’s representation is lower still for first and last authorship positions.</p>
<p>– Gender biases seem to be affecting COVID-19 research similar to other scientific areas, highlighting that women are consistently being under-represented.</p>
<p>– This may have implications for the availability and interrogation of sex-disaggregated data and therefore our understanding of COVID-19.</p>
<p>– These gender biases hint at wider gender inequalities in our global response to the pandemic, which may reduce the chance of dealing with it robustly and speedily.</p>
<p>– Women are under-represented as authors of research papers in many scientific areas, particularly in senior authorship positions.</p> |
