Invisible Sportswomen 2.0 - Cowley et al 2023 (Female only dataset).xlsx

This dataset builds upon previous findings by Cowley (2021), who examined the ratio of male and female participants in six sport and exercise medicine journals from 2014 to 2020. Specifically, all original, female-only, publications from six journals (The European Journal of Sports Science [EJSS], Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise [MSSE], The Journal of Sport Science & Medicine [JSSM], The Journal of Physiology [JPHYS], The American Journal of Sports Medicine [AJSM], and The British Journal of Sports Medicine [BJSM]) between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2020 identified by Cowley (2021) were screened for inclusion by all authors. Additionally, following the same criteria, an updated search was subsequently conducted from December 31, 2020 to January 1, 2023 to identify any further original, female-only, publications for inclusion. Variables include: Journal name, year, first author gender (1 = woman, 0 = man), last author gender (1 = woman, 0 = man), topic covered, if sex is listed in the title (0 = yes, 1 = no), the topic covered is sex-specific (0 = yes, 1 = no), the sample size of the study, if sex-specific methods are applicable (1 = applicable, 0 = not applicable), if menstrual cycle status was reported (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), if the study controlled for cycle (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), if the study tracked cycle (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), if blood samples were collected (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), if hormonal contraceptive use was reported (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), if urine and/or saliva samples were collected (0 = yes, 1 = no, blank = not applicable), the overall quality proportion score (0 to 1). There is a separate sheet for each journal which lists all the articles from 2014 to 2022. Each article is given a row, which includes a link to the author and email address of the corresponding author. Further, a compiled sheet with all articles is also provided on the "compiled" sheet. Information on the editorial boards of the six journals is also provided in the "editorial board" sheet; the size of the editorial board, the ratio of women and men on the board, the gender of the editor-in-chief, the percentage of women on the board. Links to each journal are also provided.
