| Abstract | This article presents data on gender representation in the Journal of Moral Philosophy (JMP) from its founding in 2003 through 2009. The journal’s editor examines submission rates, publication rates, and reviewer demographics to assess how women fare in the journal’s peer-review process. Findings indicate that women represent approximately 23% of submissions, 22% of published articles, and 21% of manuscript reviewers—proportions roughly aligned with women’s representation in top philosophy departments (19%). The article describes JMP’s editorial practices, including double-anonymous review processes and swift review times (92% of submissions reviewed within two months). While pleased with current representation levels, the editor acknowledges room for improvement and discusses the importance of professional organizations like the Association of Philosophy Journal Editors (APJE) in fostering dialogue about best practices for achieving greater gender equity in philosophical publishing.
