Abstract
La desigualdad de género está presente en diversos contextos sociales, incluyendo la academia y las prácticas científicas, reflejándose en las autorías de publicaciones. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar si existen diferencias entre hombresy mujeres en la primera autoría, las áreas temáticas investigadas y el efecto del sexo de la primera autoría en la conformacióndel equipo, en artículos de la Revista Chilena de Fonoaudiología entre 1999 y 2020. Se realizó un estudio analítico y retrospectivo utilizando modelos generalizados lineales (GLM) univariados con link log, familia Poisson y estimación robusta.Los resultadosmostraron que el 53,4% de los artículos tenían a una mujer como primera autora, cifra que disminuyó al 43,8% en el periodo 2016-2020. Los hombres predominaban en áreas como deglución y voz, mientras que las mujeres lo hacían en comunicación y lenguaje infantil (61,9%). Además, la probabilidad de que haya mujeres entre los coautores disminuye cuando los primeros autores son hombres. Estos resultados indican que, a pesar del rol relevante de las científicas, persisten brechas de género en las publicaciones.
Gender inequality is present in various social contexts, including academia and scientific practices, as reflected in the authorship of publications. The aim of this study is to determine whether differences exist between men and women regarding first authorship, the thematic areas investigated, and the effect of the first author's gender on team composition in articles published in Revista Chilena de Fonoaudiología between 1999 and 2020. An analytical and retrospective study was conducted using univariate Generalized Linear Models (GLM) with a log link, Poisson family, and robust estimation. The results showed that 53.4% of the articles had a woman as the first author, which dropped to 43.8% between 2016 and 2020. Men predominated in areas such as swallowing and voice, while women were more prominent in child communication and language (61.9%). Additionally, the probability of women being co-authors decreases when men are the first authors. These results indicate that, despite the relevant role of female scientists, the gender gap in publications persists.
