The role of gender and gender equity in The Journal of Pediatrics

Williams et al examined the gender of corresponding authors, reviewers, and editors to determine if there were differences in publication recommendations and outcomes for manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Pediatrics in 2015-2016. Female corresponding authors submitted a proportional number of manuscripts to The Journal and these manuscripts were accepted at equal rates, regardless of the editor's or the reviewer's gender. However, women received fewer invitations to review manuscripts and were less likely to accept or complete reviews.
