In the paper below, physics joins other fields displaying gender citation gaps: astronomy, neuroscience, communications, medicine, international relations, political science, etc. Wondering what publishing groups, journal editors, & researchers are doing about it? A thread. (1/n) In Feb 2021, Cell Press initiated an inclusion and diversity statement for their 50+ journals. Of those reporting, 32% worked to promote gender balance in their reference list. cell.com/news-do/inclus…

The under-attribution of women’s contributions to science is well known & well studied. A measure of under-attribution is the under-citation of papers authored by women relative to expected rates. In a new @NaturePhysics paper we explore this citation gap in contemporary physics. Image In ~1.07 million papers from 35 physics journals, we find a global bias wherein papers authored by women are significantly under-cited, and papers authored by men are significantly over-cited. nature.com/articles/s4156… Image

For several years, @ Fabiopas82 & I have been working with colleagues to investigate network control theory as a possible process model for network level phenomena in the human brain. The theory draws upon a notion of control energy. What is the biological basis of that energy? New work from @Xiaosong_He & others uses PET imaging to provide initial evidence for the metabolic substrates of control energy, elucidating the biological basis of network control theory as a framework for probing the brain’s energy landscape. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New from @jddwor Extent & drivers of gender imbalance in neuroscience reference lists tinyurl.com/yfw26jy2. w/ @Penn_SIVE, @perryzurn, Teich, Linn. Covering issues of bias, ethics, & social behavior vital to all fields grappling with their own visions of an equitable future. @jddwor @Penn_SIVE @perryzurn In this study, we examine the authors and reference lists of articles published in five top neuroscience journals since 1995: Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Brain, NeuroImage, and Journal of Neuroscience.

Just up on arXiv from @ChrisWLynn "Human information processing in complex networks" arxiv.org/abs/1906.00926 w/@ari_e_kahn & L Papadopoulos, combining information theory & cognitive science to quantify the information that humans receive from complex communication systems. Traditional methods in information theory treat the production of information as an inherent property of a system. In contrast, here we consider the human perspective by accounting for the subtle, yet critical, fact that information depends on the expectations of a receiver.
