A 46-year Analysis of Gender Trends in Academic Authorship in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine.

CONCLUSION: Female investigators in orthopaedic sports medicine are authoring publications at a growing rate, increasing almost sevenfold from 1972 to 2018. Although women published two-thirds the volume of male investigators overall, and were more likely to be full-time research staff, gender differences in academic productivity and longevity have decreased over time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective Cohort Design, Observational Study. PMID: 31232796 [PubMed - in process]
