Gender bias in representation and publishing rates across subfields [of linguistics]

Abstract: We examined publishing rates for male and female linguists from 1970 to the present using freely available citation data (title, year, authors) from 31 journals across six sub-fields. Our findings are consistent with previous work indicating that women are under-represented in linguistics, especially at later career stages, though there has overall been progress in the last five decades. Further, we observe that in some subfields women publish less than would be expected given their numbers, a trend we intend to track in the future.
