Gender inequalities on editorial boards of indexed pediatrics journals

These raw data belong to the study “Gender inequalities on editorial boards of indexed pediatrics journals”. The presence of women in decision-making positions, such as on editorial committees of biomedical journals, is not the same as that of men. This paper analyzes the gender composition of editorial committees (EBMs) and editor-in-chief (ECs) positions of pediatric journals. The gender of EBMs and ECs of 125 journals classified in the pediatrics area of the Journal Citation Report (JCR) were analyzed. The following indicators were calculated: gender distribution of ECs and EBMs by journal, publisher, subject speciality, country, quartile of the journal in JCR and country of affiliation of the members. The total number of EBMs was 4,242. The distribution by sex of the ECs was 19.44% women and 80.56% men, while the EBMs were 33.05% women and 66.95% men. Twenty journals exhibited a greater representation of women than men, and in four there was parity. Journals with greater participation of women specialized in nursing, physical therapy and were related to nutrition (lactation and breastfeeding). Only one-fifth of ECs and one-third of EBMs are female. Women's participation is higher in journals related to nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and nutrition. The United States has the highest number of EBMs, followed by the European Union.

本原始数据集来自《索引儿科期刊编委会的性别不平等》研究课题。生物医学期刊编委会等决策岗位中，女性的人员占比与男性存在显著差异。本研究针对儿科期刊的编委会（Editorial Board Members, EBMs）与主编（Editor-in-Chief, ECs）岗位的性别构成展开分析。本次分析选取《期刊引证报告》（Journal Citation Report, JCR）儿科分类下的125种期刊，对其编委会成员与主编的性别信息进行统计。本次研究计算了以下统计指标：按期刊、出版方、学科领域、所属国家、JCR分区以及成员隶属国家划分的主编与编委会成员性别分布情况。本次统计的编委会成员总人数为4242名。主编群体的性别构成占比为女性19.44%、男性80.56%；编委会成员群体的女性占比则为33.05%，男性占比66.95%。有20种期刊的女性占比高于男性，另有4种期刊实现了性别占比均等。女性占比较高的期刊多聚焦于护理学、物理治疗学领域，以及营养学（涵盖泌乳与母乳喂养相关方向）。仅有五分之一的主编与三分之一的编委会成员为女性。在护理学、物理治疗学、作业治疗学以及营养学相关的期刊中，女性的参与占比更高。美国的编委会成员人数最多，其次为欧盟地区。本数据集包含以下变量：期刊排名（Rank）、期刊全称（Full Journal Title）、编委会成员（Editorial Board Members, EBM）、成员姓名（First Name）、性别（Gender）、所属国家（Country）、国家代码（Country Code）、地理区域（Geographical Area）、主编（Editor-in-Chief, EC）、主编所属国家（Country Editor-in-Chief）、主编性别（Gender Editor-in-Chief）、期刊网址（Url Journals）。
