| Abstract | This article analyzes publication and citation patterns by gender over 20 years in four prestigious general-interest philosophy journals. It finds that while the percentage of articles authored by women in the journals rose slightly from 11% to 14% between 1993-2013, citations to articles written by women still only comprise 12% of the total. Further examination shows that this matches the base publication rate for women. However, citation rates are highly skewed, with most articles receiving very few citations. Analysis of the top 1% most-cited articles, which disproportionately set research agendas, reveals they are exclusively authored by men. The article argues that this disparity in influence raises concerns about women’s participation in core debates and capacity to shape philosophical discourse in top journals. Though women clear the publication bar, agenda-setting remains dominated by men. This content was generated by artificial intelligence using the text of the original work. |
