@amydiehl Very interesting. They also say most reviewers are men; does it reflect faculty in biomed and life sciences? I’m really wondering what drives this. Ofc it could be neglect, but I can see other explanations. Women often work in subfields considered marginal; as a result, even though they can review more mainstream stuff, researchers working on canon stuff can’t review their stuff. So it could be smaller reviewer pools combined filled with women who are asked to do more reviewing
