Gender disparities in the network. (A) The network is overwhelmingly dominated by men until 1980, when a trend towards increasing authorship by women begins to be seen; however, representation by women in first/last authorship remains low; gray shaded lines are 95% confidence intervals of the LOESS curves; (B) Men tend on average to have a longer productive period and to achieve a higher author impact score than women (P < 0.001 for both comparisons); (C) Men tend on average to be more central and have more collaborations outside of their subspecialty. Note that the homophily calculation requires a subspecialty assignment, which explains the slightly lower numbers in (C) as compared to (B).
