dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Gender inequalities persist in several areas of medicine, despite the growing number of female doctors and medical students. In this study, we aimed to reveal the gender inequality in the top journals ' editorial boards and national societies ' leadership positions in the field of neurology and neurosurgery. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study that uses public information accessed through the internet via journals ' and academic societies ' public websites. The medical journals are selected and included according to their h5 -index in the field of neurology and neurosurgery. We evaluated the gender composition of the editorial boards and academic societies ' leadership positions. RESULTS: The female editorial board member ratio was 44.0% in the top 10 neurology journals. However, this ratio was significantly decreased to 29.7% in the other journals( P < 0.001). The top 10 neurosurgery journals had a female editorial board member ratio of 13.7%. This ratio was significantly decreased to 5.3% in the other 10 journals with lower h5-index( P < 0.001). A significantly lower - umber of female individuals are present in the editorial boards of the neurosurgery journals than in neurology( P < 0.001). The female president or delegate ratio was 19.3% in the World Federation of Neurology -affiliated countries, and it was 4% in the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies -affiliated countries. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, there is a significant gender inequality among editorial board members. The position of neurosurgical societies and journals is far different than the field of neurology. Furthermore, these findings should be evaluated as a continuum of the gender inequality in the professional societies ' executive boards and delegates representing the national academical community.en_US
