Summary/Abstract

Many studies report lower academic productivity among women. But are women less likely to get their research published in the first place? The evidence for potential gender bias in publication and impact is mixed. This article examines the gender dimension of scientific publication in international relations (IR) based on submission data for Journal of Peace Research for the period 1983-2008. It examines the gender gap in submissions and explores whether the perceived merit of a research paper is affected by the gender of the authors and reviewers. It also investigates whether the gender of the first author influences citation counts. The data show a clear but declining gender gap. They do not indicate any significant gender bias in publication success or citations.

Summary/Abstract

IT ALL BEGAN in 1917 when many people came to develop the romantic notion that secrets in international affairs were no longer secrets and that diplomacy and politics should be an open book. It was then that Baltic Fleet Bolshevik sailor Nikolai Markin was instructed to organize the publication of secret treaties concluded by the preceding regimes. He arranged for the publication of several collections which historians later dubbed the "Markin Collections." The latter-day intellectuals Markin roped in to publish the documents thought it was a good idea to follow with publishing documents of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs relevant not only to the past but also to current foreign policy affairs. In 1919, this resulted in the appearance of the Vestnik NKID (Herald of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR) which published diplomatic notes and other documents of the Commissariat along with articles by individual contributors.
