Where gender affects the evaluation of scholarly work, this can shape outcomes in areas such as peer review; grant funding; career progression; and research trends. Understanding under which conditions gender has an influence on evaluations has broader implications for equity within academic environments. This Collection invites research on these dynamics, focusing on the impact of gender on the overall landscape of research, including the experiences of cisgender, transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer individuals.
Research on gender equity has the potential to inform systemic changes within academic institutions. Better understanding of research conditions; research output; and research evaluation may help identifying effective strategies to promote equitable practices in academia and among other stakeholders in research.
Topics of interest for this Collection include, but are not limited to:
- The role of gender in academic careers
- The impact of author gender on perceptions of research quality
- Peer review dynamics and the influence of reviewer and author gender
- Metascientific, cross-disciplinary perspectives
The Collection aims to promote work that will contribute to equitable research environments for cisgender, transgender, non-binary and genderqueer individuals.
