Analysis of gender gap in North American radiation oncology society committees

While men occupy more leadership roles and show higher research productivity as measured by the h-index, accounting for years of active research with the m-index showed no significant difference between genders. This underscores the need for targeted strategies such as mentorship programmes and gender-equity policies to promote greater representation of women in the discipline.

Abstract

While men occupy more leadership roles and show higher research productivity as measured by the h-index, accounting for years of active research with the m-index showed no significant difference between genders. This underscores the need for targeted strategies such as mentorship programmes and gender-equity policies to promote greater representation of women in the discipline.
