Abstract

This paper analyzes the presence of women on the editorial boards of journals indexed in the Journal Citation Report (JCR), in the category of Criminology and Penology. For this purpose, a comparative study of the representation of women in editorial positions has been carried out, based on the following indicators: responsibility on the board, individually for each of the publications, quartile of the journals, publisher responsible for the publication and country of publication. The results obtained show the existing gender inequality in the editorial committees of the main journals in Criminology, where there is still a male predominance, and how female representation decreases the higher the position of responsibility in the journal and the lower the quartile where it is located in the ranking. If we take the publisher or the country of publication as a reference, the data confirm the low presence of women in editorial decision-making positions. The study concluded that, although there is a trend towards reversal, in the committees of scientific journals specialized in Criminology, the female presence is still scarce and the existing gender inequality in these positions is verified.

摘要

本文分析了在期刊引文报告 (JCR) 中收录的犯罪学和刑罚学类别期刊编辑委员会中女性的存在情况。为此目的，根据以下指标对女性担任编辑职位的比例进行了比较研究：董事会的责任、对每份出版物的单独责任、期刊的四分位数、负责出版物的出版商和国家的出版。所得结果表明，犯罪学主要期刊的编辑委员会中存在性别不平等，其中男性仍然占主导地位，女性代表如何降低期刊中的责任职位越高，所在的四分位数越低在排名中。如果我们以出版商或出版国作为参考，数据证实了女性在编辑决策职位上的比例很低。该研究得出的结论是，尽管有逆转的趋势，但在专门研究犯罪学的科学期刊委员会中，女性的存在仍然稀缺，并且这些职位中存在的性别不平等得到了证实。
