Three Decades Of Transformation: A Bibliometric Study Of Gender And Geographic Trends In International Orthopaedic Journal Publications

Description

In this episode of AI Talks with Bone & Joint, hosts Brian and Lisa delve into a groundbreaking paper titled 'Three decades of transformation: a bibliometric study of gender and geographic trends in international orthopaedic journal publications'. The study aims to explore the evolution of gender representation among primary and senior authors, alongside the geographical origins of articles published in leading orthopaedic journals from 2000 to 2024. Notably, findings indicate a significant rise in female authorship, with primary female authors increasing from 8.9% in the early years to 24.7% in more recent publications. Despite this progress, challenges remain, particularly in achieving equitable representation from developing countries, with substantial disparities persisting across regions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of fostering diversity in orthopaedic research and highlights actionable strategies to enhance gender equity in authorship.
