Editorial practices of psychiatric and related journals: implications for women
Abstract
The author reports on the responses of 37 psychiatric and related professional journals to a questionnaire on procedures for selection of articles and of editors and/or editorial boards, with a focus on possible sexism in these practices. Results indicated little active effort to increase representation of women on editorial boards or in the authorship of journals, although existing practices were not necessarily discriminatory per se. The author hopes that this report will encourage more women to submit articles for publication and to seek active participation in the journals in their field.
