ABSTRACT Researchers’ national and gender diversity are some of the most important goals of our discipline in order to ensure the representation of diverse perspectives. We conducted a content analysis of the national and gender diversity of authors and editorial board members of six communication journals between 2006 and 2016. National diversity is low in journals and boards: 80% of the 18,175 authors are affiliated with 12 of the 91 nations. Gender distribution is balanced among US authors, but not among authors from other continents. Boards have significantly more male than female members. We will discuss the need to develop benchmarks, how to weigh research quality and diversity, and suggest measures to achieve diversity in academic associations, universities and research institutions.

传播中的国家和性别多样性：2006 年至 2016 年间六种期刊的内容分析

摘要 研究人员的国家和性别多样性是我们学科的一些最重要的目标，以确保代表不同的观点。我们对 2006 年至 2016 年间六种通讯期刊的作者和编委成员的国家和性别多样性进行了内容分析。期刊和委员会的国家多样性较低：18,175 名作者中有 80% 隶属于 91 个国家中的 12 个国家。美国作者之间的性别分布是平衡的，但在其他大陆的作者之间则不平衡。董事会的男性成员明显多于女性成员。我们将讨论制定基准的必要性、如何衡量研究质量和多样性，并提出在学术协会、大学和研究机构中实现多样性的措施。
