RESUMO
OBJETIVOS: Determinar el porcentaje de autorías femeninas en artículos originales publicados durante 2 períodos en la revista Atención Primaria y evaluar si existen diferencias entre categorías de autoría (primera, última autora y coautora) entre ambos. DISEÑO: Estudio transversal. Emplazamiento: Producción científica femenina publicada durante 2007-2008 y 2017-2018. PARTICIPANTES: Centrado en los artículos originales. Mediciones principales: Se recogieron en un formulario ad hoc las variables: género con base en el nombre del autor, número total de mujeres y hombres que figuraban como autores y orden de autoría. Se calcularon las frecuencias absolutas y relativas y se utilizó la prueba de chi2 para determinar la evolución de los porcentajes por tipo de autoría y género. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron un total de 108 artículos en el período 2007-2008 y 100 en el 2017-2018. No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el promedio de autoras y autores dentro de los períodos ni entre ambos. En 2007-2008 se identificaron un total de 548 autorías y 540 en 2017-2018; el porcentaje de autoras fue del 48,7% y del 54,4%, respectivamente. Solo se observó un aumento del porcentaje de primeras autoras interperíodo. CONCLUSIONES: Prácticamente una de cada 2 autorías de artículos originales publicados en la revista Atención Primaria era femenina. Asimismo, se observó un incremento significativo en el porcentaje de primeras autoras entre ambos períodos. No obstante, y a pesar del mayor número de trabajadoras sanitarias, las últimas autoras se mantienen sin cambios, lo que apunta a la persistencia de infrarrepresentación femenina
OBJECTIVES: To determine the percentage of female authors in original articles published during 2 periods, in the journal of Atención Primaria (Primary Care), and to examine the differences between the categories of authorship (first, last author, and co-author) between both periods. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Feminine scientific production published during the periods 2007-2008 and 2017-2018. PARTICIPANTS: The study was focused on original articles. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The following variables were collected in an ad hoc form: gender based on the name of the author, total number of women and men appearing as authors, and order of authorship. Absolute and relative authorship frequencies were calculated, and the Chi2 test was used to examine the evolution of the percentages by type of authorship and gender. RESULTS: A total of 108 articles were analysed in 2007-2008, and 100 in 2017-2018. No statistically significant differences were observed between the mean numbers of women authors within and between periods. In 2007-2008 a total of 548 female authors were identified and 540 in 2017-2018, the percentage of female authors was 48.7% and 54.4%, respectively. Only an increase in the percentage of first authors was observed between periods. CONCLUSIONS: Practically one out of every 2authors of original articles published in the journal Atención Primaria was female. There was also a significant increase in the percentage of female first authors between the 2periods. Nevertheless, and despite the greater number of health workers, the number of latest female authors remain unchanged, which points to the persistence of female under-representation
