Female and low- and middle-income authorship trends in high-impact ENT journals (2011–2020). Jashek-Ahmed, F., Daudu, D., Heer, B., Ali, H., Wiedermann, J., Seguya, A., & Initiative (globalohns.org), M. o. t. G. O. Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 8(2):417–425, March, 2023. _eprint: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/lio2.1044doi abstract bibtex Introduction Despite a recent drive to increase diversity, the global academic workforce is skewed in favor of authors from high-income countries, and women are under-represented in the published medical literature. Objectives To explore the trends in authorship of three high-impact otolaryngology journals over a ten-year period (2011–2020). Methods Journals selected: JAMA Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, The Laryngoscope and Rhinology. Articles were reviewed from four issues per journal per year, and data was collected on: time of publication; subspeciality; number of authors; sex of first and last authors; country of practice of first author and country where each study was conducted. Trends were examined though univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results 2998 articles were included. 93.9% of first authors and 94.2% of studies were from high-income countries. Women were first authors in 31.5% (n = 912) and senior authors in 18.4% (n = 524) of articles. Female first authorship significantly increased between 2011 and 2020 however female senior authorship remained the same. There have been no significant changes in the proportion of published articles from low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) over time (p = .65). Amongst the LMIC articles, 72% came from Brazil, Turkey or China and there were no published papers from countries with a low-income economy (gross national income per capita of $1085 or less). Conclusions Although female first authorship has increased in the last decade, there has been minimal other demographic change in authorship over this time. High-impact otolaryngology journals poorly represent academia in low-and-middle income countries. There is a need for increased advocacy promoting gender and geographical research equity in academic medicine. Level of Evidence III.
