Abstract

An examination of article authorship and editorial board membership for 7 behavior-analytic journals from 2014 to 2017 revealed that, compared to findings from prior years, women's participation has increased substantially. This finding is heartening and shows the value of persistent efforts to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed in, and be served by, behavior analysis.
