Valoración de la paridad en la autoría de los artículos publicados en la Revista Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica durante el quinquenio 2001-2005

Studies on scientific activity according to gender provide essential information to establish the basis for a policy of equality in this regard. A yearly increase of almost 1% was seen in the number of female authors contributing articles to the EIMC, which, if the trend continues, will result in parity in coming years. Nevertheless, the presence of women in positions of high productivity remains low. The causes of this difference should be identified and corrected.
