Forty years of invasion research: more papers, more collaboration ... bigger impact? ...

Sara E. Campbell et al.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed invasion science literature and found that collaborative research has been increasing in this field. The number of authors per paper has increased, while single-authored papers have declined. Collaborative papers are more frequently cited and have higher research impact compared to single-authored papers. The rise of collaborative research in invasion science is driven by the complexity, context-dependence, and urgency of biological invasions.

Peer review and gender bias: A study on 145 scholarly journals

Flaminio Squazzoni et al.

Summary: This study analyzed gender bias in 145 journals and found that manuscripts written by women as solo authors or coauthored by women were treated more favorably by referees and editors. The results suggest that peer review and editorial processes do not penalize manuscripts by women, and increasing gender diversity in editorial teams and referee pools could help encourage more women to participate.

Persistent gender bias in marine science and conservation calls for action to achieve equity

Sylvaine Giakoumi et al.

Summary: Research indicates that while there is relative gender balance in early career stages, there is a significant gender imbalance in senior positions. Most marine scientists are aware of gender bias and believe that increasing fairness in evaluations and supporting work-life balance are crucial for promoting gender equality.

Quantifying the Gender Gap in Authorship in Herpetology

Katelyn N. Rock et al.

Summary: Research indicates that there is underrepresentation of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with varying degrees of underrepresentation across different STEM disciplines. Analyzing the gender composition of authors in specific fields provides insight into gender representation. In the field of herpetology, the number of female authors has been steadily increasing over the past decade, and there has been a notable rise in female authorship in studies on lizards and snakes over the past 50 years.

Gender bias in academia: A lifetime problem that needs solutions

Anais Llorens et al.

Summary: Despite increasing awareness and initiatives to address gender inequality in academia, progress is slow and gender bias continues to negatively impact underrepresented groups in science. Gender bias is not a singular issue, but a collection of distinct problems that can be addressed through collaborative efforts from individuals, academic institutions, and society.

The differential impact of COVID-19 on the work conditions of women and men academics during the lockdown

T. Murat Yildirim et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of lockdown on the work conditions of academics at home, revealing that factors such as gender, having children, perceived threat from COVID-19, and satisfaction with the work environment are associated with this impact. Specifically, having children disproportionately affects women in terms of the amount of housework during the lockdown.

COVID-19 and the gender gap in work hours

Caitlyn Collins et al.

Summary: School and day care closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have increased caregiving responsibilities for working parents, leading many to change their work hours. Mothers with young children have reduced their work hours four to five times more than fathers, resulting in a 20-50% growth in the gender gap in work hours. This highlights the challenges posed to women's work hours and employment by the COVID-19 pandemic.
