Published articles on gender in cultural and creative sectors

Results from the analysis of 6.631 scientific articles on Gender in Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) retrieved from Web of Science and dating between 1958 and 2022. The largest number of publications have their focus on the audio-visual and multimedia industry (37,08%), followed by performing arts (20,48%), book and press (17,80%) and visual arts (9,35%). In other CCS, the share of publications ranges between 5,35% (advertising) and 0,41% (arts and crafts). Therefore, there is an evident need to foster research on the women's role in particular domains of the CCS, such as heritage, library, archives, architecture and, especially, arts and crafts. Additionally, the role of women is less emphasized in the preservation and conservation stage of the CCS value chain (for almost all the domains), in the management and regulation stage (for visual and performing arts) and in the creation stage (in the audio-visual and multimedia sector).
