Beyond Citations: Exploring Gender and Racial Gaps in Urology Publications Through Citation and Altmetric Analysis
This study examined how often urology research papers are cited based on the gender and race of the authors. We found that studies led by women are cited less frequently than those led by men, despite receiving more online attention and funding. These findings underscore the need for fairer recognition of all researchers, as greater equity in academic publishing may help promote more inclusive and accessible patient care.
