Abstract
Objective: This study benchmarked gender trends in research authorship in the physician associate (PA) profession.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted of the Journal of Physician Assistant Education and the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Associates from January 2014 to September 2022. We collected data on instances of PA first, last, and solo authorship of clinical or research articles. Author gender was verified through professional websites. Simple proportions and the Mann-Kendall test are reported.
Results: Among 1,315 collected instances of PA authorship, women represented 65.6% (n = 863) of the population, comprising 67.8% of first authors and 60.7% of last authors. The proportion of authors categorized as women increased over time ( P = .04). Women were more likely to have only one publication compared with men.
Conclusions: Although positive signs of increased research authorship by women are evident, women still lag behind men in overall publication numbers and in senior authorship roles compared with their representation in the PA profession.
