Data for the Synthesis of Women’s Participation in Small-Scale Fisheries Management: Why Women’s Voices Matter

These data have been used to conduct a literature review documenting the impacts associated to strengthening women’s participation in SSF management and decision-making. This review provides the first global quantitative assessment of women’s participation level in SSF management and associated socio-cultural, environmental, and economic impacts.<b>Data collection methods</b>To perform the literature review, we applied a topical search (in title, abstract, and keywords) in two databases: Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and Scopus. We ran an initial search in June 2021 and updated it in June 2022. <b>Data analysis methods</b>Two coders read the publications and applied both qualitative and quantitative methods (descriptive and statistical analysis) to analyse the data.
