Gender distribution among surgical journals ’ editorial boards: maintaining momentum of equity

We would like to thank the authors for their inquisitive ardor regarding our recent manuscript entitled “Gender distribution among surgical journals’ editorial boards: Empowering women surgeon scientists”.1 This cross-sectional analysis evaluated the recent state of gender distribution among the top United States surgical journals’ editorial boards. From this, it was discovered that out of the 42 journals included in our study, the mean proportions of female editorial board members, associate editors and editors in chief were all below 20%.
