The Evolution of Female Authorship in Facial Plastic Surgery: Changing Trends Over Time

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate trends in female authorship within the field of facial plastic surgery from 2007 to 2022, given the historical underrepresentation of women in surgical subspecialties. Their analysis of 6,921 original research articles revealed a significant increase in female authorship over time, particularly in first/single authorship, suggesting progress in the representation of women in this field. The study highlights the need for continued efforts to enhance female representation in facial plastic surgery literature.
