How much of HERstory is in the HIStory of the <i>Journal of Applied Physiology</i>?
Sushant M. Ranadive, James M. Hagberg
Abstract
Females have been consistently underrepresented in the Journal of Applied Physiology, both as research participants and as manuscript authors. This study provides a comprehensive audit of the journal’s publications from its inception in 1948 through the end of 2023 to examine these biological sex-related trends over time. Except for 2023, data reveal a persistent and significant gap in the inclusion of female participants and authors throughout the journal’s history.
