Title: Commentary: Is the Leaky Pipeline a Barrier to Sexuality and Disability Research: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Abstract: Gender differences in publishing and in academia as a whole have been widely recognised. However, to date no research has been done to identify if there are gender differences in publishing in sexuality and disability research. To address this, a bibliometric analysis of research from the last five years of publications in Sexuality and Disability was undertaken. We found that there were more women publishing in Sexuality and Disability than men, however that there were dips in these ratios in 2021 and 2023. In addition, men more commonly published in Sexuality and Disability multiple times and had a higher internet presence. There seems to be a disproportionate representation of women authorship in research in the field of sexuality and disability, but perhaps an underrepresentation of women as senior authors. Attending to the leaky pipeline must be prioritized in the overall research agenda to progress and strengthen sexuality and disability research literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
