The findings indicate that women authors represent only 16% of corresponding authors, a figure that is stagnant since 2018. The analysis reveals that more selective journals exhibit lower percentages of submissions from women, emphasizing the need for concerted efforts to support female researchers in navigating their publication choices. The article reiterates the commitment to enhancing diversity among corresponding authors and peer reviewers in academic publishing.
