Observations made from papers submitted to preprint servers, and the speculation of editors on social media platforms, suggest that women are submitting fewer papers to scholarly journals than are men during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here I examine whether submissions by men and women to six ecology journals (all published by the British Ecological Society) have changed since the start of COVID disruptions. At these six ecology journals there is no evidence of a decline in the proportion of submissions that are authored by women (as either first or submitting author) since the start of the COVID-19 disruptions; the proportion of papers authored by women in the post-COVID period of 2020 has increased relative to the same period in 2019, and is higher than in the period pre-COVID in 2020. There is also no evidence of a change in the geographic pattern of submissions from across the globe.

妇女在COVID-19大流行期间担任生态学期刊投稿的作者

从提交给预印本服务器的论文得到的观察结果以及在社交媒体平台上的编辑推测，表明在COVID-19大流行期间，女性向学术期刊提交的论文少于男性。在这里，我研究了自COVID破坏开始以来，男性和女性向六种生态学期刊（全部由英国生态学会出版）的投稿是否发生了变化。在这六种生态期刊上，没有证据表明自COVID-19干扰开始以来，女性（第一作者或第一作者）撰写的投稿比例有所下降；妇女在2020年COVID后时期发表论文的比例相对于2019年同期有所增加，并且高于2020年COVID之前时期的论文数量。
