摘要

Gender disparity within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) is a critical problem that can diminish the potential of scientific achievement and the impact of resources dedicated to science on an international scale. Women are entering undergraduate and graduate programs in STEMM subjects in record numbers; however, progression of women into senior scientific posts is not increasing as rapidly, is static, or may even be decreasing within some STEMM subjects." Perhaps the most frequently used metric of academic achievement to evaluate readiness for promotion into senior scientific posts is assessment of the number, quality, and impact of research publications. While assessment of the relative frequency of female first authorship of scientific journal publications can be informative, first authorship is not necessarily an indication that females are progressing into senior scientific positions. First authors are often the scientists that have performed the experimentation, analyzed results, and written the manuscript; however, these efforts are frequendy directed and supervised by a senior scientist. Within the author list of a scientific article, the corresponding (or reprint) author is frequently the scientist with overall responsibility for the work (e.g., the principal investigator), and the last author may be the senior author (may or may not be the corresponding author) or perhaps overall group or institute leader. Nonetheless, designation of authorship is not always straightforward and differences can exist among disciplines, journals, and within individual research groups. Despite limitations of the metric of scientific article authorship gender, the importance of authorship in terms of a scientist's reputation, career progression, and impact within a discipline also dictate that the metric has potential importance for assessment of gender-disparity and career progression within a discipline.
