| Abstract: | Copyright © 2021 Philip Ball, T. Benjamin Britton, Erin Hengel, Philip Moriarty, Rachel A. Oliver, Gina Rippon, Angela Saini, and Jessica Wade. Alessandro Strumia recently published a survey of gender differences in publications and citations in high-energy physics (HEP). In addition to providing full access to the data, code, and methodology, Strumia (2021) systematically describes and accounts for gender differences in HEP citation networks. His analysis points both to ongoing difficulties in attracting women to HEP and an encouraging—though slow—trend in improvement. |
