| Abstract: | In the article "The Past 110 Years: Historical Data on the Underrepresentation of Women in Philosophy Journals," Hassoun et al. claim that there is a connection between triple anonymous review and the proportion of women authors in interdisciplinary journals. However, the sample size of interdisciplinary journals using triple-blind review practice in the analysis is 1. In addition, the sole interdisciplinary journal claimed to be triple-blind, the Journal of Medical Ethics , is not and has not been triple-blind. The finding that interdisciplinary journals publish the greatest proportion of women authorship when practicing triple anonymous review is thus unwarranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
