Despite recent advances, gender inequality persists in many scientific fields, and Psychology is not alien to this phenomenon. This study presents the evolution of gender composition in American Psychological Association publications in the past six decades, from 1963 to 2016. Longitudinal analysis revealed an important change: women rose from a tiny 12% to 14% in the 1960s to almost gender parity in the last decade (2010s). The pattern of collaboration (coauthorship) shows that women tend to be slightly overrepresented as first author and underrepresented as the last or senior author. In the last two decades, women outnumber men as new American Psychological Association authors (authors who publish for the first time in an American Psychological Association journal). These features and the fact that men's publications tend to encompass a much wider range of years suggest that age may play a role in the gender composition of American Psychological Association contributors.
