| Description |
This manuscript reanalyzes data from a recent widely-discussed study reporting that female-authored articles published in top international relations journals received fewer citations than equivalent male-authored articles. The reanalysis indicated that the gender citation gap is largely limited to elite articles, defined either as articles in the right tail of the citation distribution or as articles published in the most familiar journals. Results suggest that the original study's recommendation to consider the gender citation gap in promotion and review requires more data and a better understanding of the factors that influence whether an article enters the discipline's elite.
