This study aims to identify the gender of researchers who published in Personality and Individual Differences
(PAID) during the 2008–2016 period. Of a total of 12,137 authorships, gender could be identified in 11,023
(90.8%). Results show a slight gender imbalance in favor of men that tends to diminish throughout the years, almost
reaching parity in the last three years. Data show that: a) gender asymmetry is greater in the number of authorships
than in the number of authors (individuals), partly because men tend to publish in a wider range of
years during the period studied; b) men are relatively overrepresented in the last (senior) position of the author
by-line; and c) in relative terms, women tend to be concentrated in the last years of the period studied. Taken
together, these three points suggest that age probably plays a role in the (slight) gender imbalance, as observed
in other scientific fields. Regarding the scientific impact of contributors, no gender differences were found in the
number of citations received. [-]
