元研究：COVID-19医学论文的女性第一作者比预期少
Meta-Research: COVID-19 medical papers have fewer women first authors than expected
摘要：
COVID-19疫情导致学校关闭及距离要求，扰乱了许多人的工作及家庭生活。令人关切的是，这种流行病造成的这些中断可能对男女研究人员的影响不一样。许多医学期刊发表了关于这一流行病的论文，这些论文是由面临这些破坏挑战的研究人员撰写的。在此，我们报告了一项分析的结果，该分析比较了1，893篇与大流行病相关的医学论文的作者性别分布与2019年在同一期刊上发表的论文的作者性别分布，其中第一作者和最后作者来自美国。使用混合效应回归模型，我们估计2019年COVID-19论文中女性第一作者的比例比2019年在相同期刊上发表的论文低19%，而我们对最后作者和每篇论文女性作者的总体比例的比较并不确定。更仔细的研究表明，在2020年3月和4月发表的论文中，女性作为COVID-19研究第一作者的比例特别低。我们的研究结果是一致的想法，研究生产力的妇女，特别是早期的职业女性，受到影响的研究生产力的男性。
英文摘要：
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in school closures and distancing requirements that have disrupted both work and family life for many. Concerns exist that these disruptions caused by the pandemic may not have influenced men and women researchers equally. Many medical journals have published papers on the pandemic, which were generated by researchers facing the challenges of these disruptions. Here we report the results of an analysis that compared the gender distribution of authors on 1,893 medical papers related to the pandemic with that on papers published in the same journals in 2019, for papers with first authors and last authors from the United States. Using mixed-effects regression models, we estimated that the proportion of COVID-19 papers with a woman first author was 19% lower than that for papers published in the same journals in 2019, while our comparisons for last authors and overall proportion of women authors per paper were inconclusive. A closer examination suggested that women's representation as first authors of COVID-19 research was particularly low for papers published in March and April 2020. Our findings are consistent with the idea that the research productivity of women, especially early-career women, has been affected more than the research productivity of men.
