Below are trends, for behavior analysis journals, concerning the percentage of articles with at least one female author. According to SCImago:
To determine the gender of authors, a method based on given names was employed, grounded in “cultural consensus theory” (See Van Buskirk et al. (2023)).
The journals shown below are the only behavior analysis journals indexed in the SCImago Journal & Country Rank data base. Journal-ranking services do not attempt to track all of the tens of thousands of scientific journals that exist (with more appearing daily). Instead, they make judgements about which ones really matter. The SCImago site does not specify its criteria for choosing journals to track.
Note:
- Axes are not consistent across journals, so you have to compare carefully.
- See the Postscript for a key to journal abbreviations.
