Previous research examining the diversity and inclusion of editorial review boards has revealed that the participation of women in editorial boards of major medical journals is extremely underrepresented. One analysis of women on editorial boards of major medical journals found that only 15.9% of the major medical journals that were investigated had editors in chief that were women. Also, less than one fifth of all editorial board members were women (Amrein et al, 2011).
