Abstract: Lamont's study used first author citation analysis of 2006–2007 library technology articles to report gender disparity in library technology publications. Yet, the research study was conducted a decade ago, had a sample size of publications that was limited in scope, and took a broad view of library technology. Through the replication of Lamont's study with more current publications (2018–2020) and thematic analysis, this research study will explore: how the percentage of first authors publishing in library technology journals has increased/decreased since Lamont's study, the relationship between first author's gender and library technology domains, and themes that demonstrate gender disparity in library technology publications.
