Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated gender disparities in scientific output in some academic disciplines. Clinical neuropsychology has a history of gender disparities in multiple professional domains, including authorship on peer-reviewed manuscripts. This study examined the association of the COVID-19 pandemic with gender authorship disparities in clinical neuropsychology journals. Method: The author bylines of 1,018 initial manuscript submissions to four major clinical neuropsychology journals from March 15 through September 15 of both 2019 and 2020 were coded for binary gender using estimates from national databases. In addition, authorship of 40 articles published on pandemic-related topics (e.g., COVID-19, teleneuropsychology) across nine clinical neuropsychology journals were also coded for binary gender. Results: Initial submissions to clinical neuropsychology journals increased by 27.2% during the pandemic, with comparable increases in the total number of authors coded as either women (+23.0%) or men (+25.4%). Neither the average percentage of women on manuscript bylines nor the proportion of women who were lead and/or corresponding authors differed significantly across time. Moreover, the representation of women as authors of pandemic-related articles did not differ from expected frequencies in the field. Conclusions: These encouraging findings suggest that representation of women as authors of peer-reviewed manuscript submissions to clinical neuropsychology journals did not change during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the prior year. Future studies might examine the roles of risk (e.g., caretaking responsibilities) and protective (e.g., sponsorship, resilience) factors that might influence individual differences in scientific productivity during the pandemic. |
