性别和地域代表性的多样性在研究中很重要。我们的目的是审查医学和全球健康期刊的性别/性别报告，以及作者的性别和地理。采用回顾性调查设计，对14种选定期刊的542篇研究和非研究文章进行了审查。论文筛选和系统的数据提取进行了描述性统计和回归分析计算的编码数据。结果的措施是期刊的特点，在何种程度上发表的文章满足性别/性别报告准则，加上作者的性别和他们的附属机构的位置。14种期刊中有5种在作者说明中明确鼓励性别分析，但这并没有导致研究参与者性别以外的性别报告增加（OR=3.69; p=0.000（CI 1.79至7.60））。超过一半的研究文章提出了一定程度的性/性别分析，而40%的文章在讨论中提到了性/性别。第一和最后一位作者为女性的文章讨论性/性别的可能性是男性文章的2.4倍（p=0.035（CI 1.062至5.348））。来自高收入国家（HIC）的第一和最后一位作者是来自低收入国家的作者的19倍;低收入和中等收入国家的妇女在其发表的期刊的影响因子方面处于不利地位。全球卫生和医学研究未能始终如一地应用性/性别透镜，并且在很大程度上仍然是HIC作者的保留。需要建立合作伙伴关系和提供资金支持，以促进对性别问题有敏感认识的研究，消除著作权方面的历史权力动态。
Diverse gender and geographical representation matters in research. We aimed to review medical and global health journals’ sex/gender reporting, and the gender and geography of authorship. 542 research and non-research articles from 14 selected journals were reviewed using a retrospective survey design. Paper screening and systematic data extraction was conducted with descriptive statistics and regression analyses calculated from the coded data. Outcome measures were journal characteristics, the extent to which published articles met sex/gender reporting guidelines, plus author gender and location of their affiliated institution. Five of the fourteen journals explicitly encourage sex/gender analysis in their author instructions, but this did not lead to increased sex/gender reporting beyond the gender of study participants (OR=3.69; p=0.000 (CI 1.79 to 7.60)). Just over half of research articles presented some level of sex/gender analysis, while 40% mentioned sex/gender in their discussion. Articles with women first and last authors were 2.4 times more likely to discuss sex/gender than articles with men in those positions (p=0.035 (CI 1.062 to 5.348)). First and last authors from high-income countries (HICs) were 19 times as prevalent as authors from low-income countries; and women from low-income and middle-income countries were at a disadvantage in terms of the impact factor of the journals they published in. Global health and medical research fails to consistently apply a sex/gender lens and remains largely the preserve of authors in HIC. Collaborative partnerships and funding support are needed to promote gender-sensitive research and dismantle historical power dynamics in authorship.
