Representation of women authors in different subsets of the 550 exercise physiology articles analyzed. Equitable representation is set at 50% women authors. Proportionate representation is set at 27%, equivalent to the overall proportion of women authors in the dataset. Results of binomial tests comparing sample representation to equitable or proportionate representation are indicated by Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted p values.
How equitable is exercise physiology research?
A review of 629 studies shows persistent gaps in participant inclusion, authorship, and reporting practices. Read more ▶️ https://ow.ly/ZPx050YEWlJ

Representation of women authors in different subsets of the 550 exercise physiology articles analyzed. Equitable representation is set at 50% women authors. Proportionate representation is set at 27%, equivalent to the overall proportion of women authors in the dataset. Results of binomial tests comparing sample representation to equitable or proportionate representation are indicated by Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted p values.
Nearly half of exercise physiology studies still focus only on men, while just 8% centre women.
This analysis of 629 papers highlights ongoing gaps in representation, authorship, and reporting practices.

NEW RESOURCE 📚. Is peer review upholding ethics or stifling diverse voices? A study with 23 RACM academics in Australia critiques Eurocentric peer review biases. It explores strategies to navigate, conform, or resist the system. tinyurl.com/yc8zz4nn #PeerReview #ResearchEquity
A UCL branded graphic with a red background, diamond open access logo, with the text "Why Diamond Open Access is Emerging as the Future of Scholarly Publishing. Why Diamond OA, Why Now?". Call to action to read now.
🔓 If #OpenAccess removes barriers, why do so many researchers still face them?
In the first post of our new series, we reflect on why #DiamondOpenAccess is gaining renewed attention and what this means for equity and sustainability in publishing.

ArXiv's English-only requirement is a poor decision. AI translation as a workaround creates disadvantages for Global South researchers. Question the policy, not just build bandages.

#OpenAccess brings benefits - but also challenges. We work to reduce costs, address geographic bias, and uphold quality and transparency. We’re proud to be part of the Open Access conversation and to keep listening, learning, and improving. #OpenScience #ResearchEquity #ResearchIntegrity
Mental health research is still dominated by high-income countries.
Funding, leadership, and power remain uneven, even when studies are done in LMICs.
How do we shift toward truly equitable and locally led research?

📚🌍 Who really benefits from open access?
Global study of 8M papers shows low-income countries lead in open access, while middle-income countries are priced out.
Knowledge should be free — the system still isn’t fair.
