ABSTRACT
The European Journal of Behavior Analysis was analyzed to determine the gender of authors from 2000 through 2020. We quantified the percentage of women and men as contributing authors and as first authors, articles that included at least one woman or man as an author, articles that included at least one woman and one man as authors, and total number of single-authored articles by gender. We identified 963 listed authors across 455 articles. Across all years and authorship position, women and men accounted 36% and 63% authorship, respectively. Authorship for women was lower across all variables assessed; however, there were increased trends across time for all but single-authored articles. We compared these data to those from other behavior-analytic journals.
