Is publishing in the chemical sciences gender biased?
Driving change in research culture
Summary of contents
Recognising that both the publication of research articles and the number of citations that those articles gather remain established markers of scientific success, we have carried out the first in-depth gender analysis of each stage of the publication process within the chemical sciences community. Only by recognising the biases introduced at decision points by authors, reviewers, editors and publishers, can we act to reduce them.
This report highlights that both gender and geography have an impact on article acceptance and citation rates. Find out more.
