Summary: This study examines the proportion of female authors in original research articles and editorials in four emergency medicine journals from 2013 to 2019. The study finds that female authorship has increased over the seven-year period and that there is a more pronounced gender gap in editorial authorship compared to research articles. The study also reveals a higher proportion of female middle authors in publications where the first and last authors are women.

Summary: This paper examines authorship misconduct, describes various forms of misconduct, and proposes a simple model to explore the strategic interaction between guest authors and research teams. It also investigates the possibility of using a monitoring-punishment approach to eliminate free-riding equilibria. The paper highlights the importance of efficiency and ethics in research and introduces recent advances in distributed ledger technology and authorship forensics for monitoring research workflows.

Summary: The question of attributing authorship to deceased individuals in the biomedical literature is controversial. Guidelines for authorship lack consensus, and the prevalence of this practice has not been systematically quantified. A study quantified the prevalence of publications by deceased authors in the biomedical literature and found a rapid increase in the number of deceased publications. More than 50% of deceased author papers were first submitted after the author's death, and over 60% of these papers failed to acknowledge the deceased authors. The study concludes that a consensus framework is needed to address authorship by deceased scientists.

Summary: The reporting of funding and conflicts of interest showed improvements in peer-reviewed versions compared to preprint versions, but a significant percentage of studies still added authors, funders, and COI disclosures in their peer-reviewed versions without justifying these changes.

Summary: The paper aims to identify the combinations of national culture dimensions that lead to high or low retracted publications among males and females, understand the role of personal trust, and examine the differences in these configurations. Using Hofstede's cross-cultural analysis framework and data from different sources, the essay analyzes the causal relations between national culture, trust, and male and female retractions in 30 countries using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. The research provides insights on the role of cultural dimensions and trust, different levels of personal trust combined with cultural dimensions, and the similarity and uniqueness of retractions caused by each gender.

Summary: A retrospective review of original research articles published in three U.S.-based EM journals in 2008 and 2018 showed that there was no significant increase in the proportion of female first authors overall, but a significant increase in the AEM journal. The proportion of female last authors in these journals remained relatively stable.

Summary: This study comprehensively examines the gender solo research gap among internationally visible scientists in the Polish higher education system. The findings suggest that while there are statistically significant gender differences, they have no practical significance. Factors such as team size, field of publication, and international collaboration have a stronger influence on individual solo publishing rates than gender.

Summary: Over the years, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of female authors in nuclear medicine journals, particularly in high-ranking journals, Europe, original articles, and case reports. Collaboration between male authors has decreased by 10%, giving way to other forms of collaboration, with gender parity potentially being achieved in a few decades.
