| Abstract: | Universities have traditionally been bastions of male dominance. As women have argued, lobbied and fought for recognition and equality within academia, a veneer of equality has developed. However, a considerable body of research demonstrates that there is a long way to go before gender equality, between men and women, will be achieved. One aspect that has attracted attention is equality within research outputs, especially publications. This research explores differences in publishing between men and women over a period of 50 years by focusing specifically on leisure studies and drawing on a database of all the articles published in eight double blind peer-reviewed journals focused on this field. The results highlight that considerable progress has been made toward gender equality. However, we argue there is still scope for improvement and further work is needed to understand gendered barriers in publishing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
