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.
