Frontiers | Girls just wanna have funds: a new Transparent Reporting Scale for evaluating grant data reporting from funding agencies IntroductionDespite the increasing representation of women in scientific fields, disparities in research funding allocation remain. This inequity deprives ta...

How transparent is your research funder? 🧐 In our latest work we introduce the Transparent Reporting Scale (TRS) to evaluate how funders report grant data. It's time for standardized transparency to bridge the "scissor-shaped curve" in neuroscience. www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...

When women researchers publish, media attention doesn’t always follow Men-led papers receive more media coverage than women’s, new study finds

“Women-led papers were more likely to be featured in local outlets than in national, international, or science-specialty media. They appeared more often in liberal-leaning outlets than conservative ones. And coverage of their work carried a more negative tone”

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

For Nature, women make up around 16% of corresponding authors who submit manuscripts — a percentage unchanged from 2018. Women comprise some 18% of corresponding authors who submit papers to Nature Communications and the Nature-branded research journals.

Five critical steps for building a better future for women in STEM Women in STEM fields remain underrepresented, limiting innovation and growth. Here are some strategies to support a change for the future.

"The journey toward gender equality in STEM is ongoing, but the steps we take today will shape a better future for generations to come. ...we not only enhance the opportunities for women but also enrich the entire STEM community" #WomenInSTEM theceomagazine.com/business/inn...

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.
