Perceived gender inequities in the scholarly publishing process: Before, during and after

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesChapterpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

Academic publishing is central to the creation, evaluation and dissemination of scholarship and is closely linked to academics’ career advancement. As a socially constructed system, it is also mediated by gender. For example, male academics publish more on average than female academics (Lundine et al., 2019; Symonds et al., 2006), publish in higher-ranking journals (Mayer & Rathmann, 2018) and are more likely to be named as first authors (Filardo et al., 2016). Gender inequality may also manifest itself in less visible, harder-to-quantify ways at various stages of the publication process, and it is this that is the focus of this chapter. It reports findings from interviews with female academics working in humanities and social science disciplines in the UK. They describe the gendered nature of their experience regarding gaining access to opportunities to publish, participating in the submission and review process, and being fairly represented in the outcomes.
