Popis: The authorship gender gap has been observed in most scientific disciplines, including medicine. For example, the proportion of female first authorship was only 37% in 2014 in six high-impact general medical journals,1 and 34% in 2006–2008 in five US primary care medical journals.2 The situation appeared, however, to improve in recent years with some disciplines such as pediatrics and primary care demonstrating a reversal in the male/female ratio of first authorship.3,4 The under-representation of women as last authors in biomedical research instead remains, and may be symptomatic of their minority presence among senior faculty members. The aforementioned imbalance appears to apply to the growing field of COVID-19 research as well. Anderson et al demonstrated that female first and last authorship for COVID-19-related publications was respectively 23% and 16% lower than the average female authorship representation in 2019.5 The number of women who authored preprints submitted to arXiv (an online archive for preprints of scientific papers) rose only by 2.7% between …
