Abstract

When Haghani and Bliemer (2023) considered the oldest groups of co-cited articles in the transport research literature, not a single woman featured among the 12 authors that were identified! Based on this observation, this article analyses women's contribution to transport science over the last fifty years. The aim is to identify women's contribution over time, to ascertain whether this contribution has been limited to specific areas of research and to what extent women have contributed to emerging research topics. Ultimately, we would like to determine whether transport publication trend is gender specific. We will complete the data-based coming from Haghani and Bliemer (2023). Firstly, the results show a strong and persistent male domination over the last 50 years, for all the many bibliometric indicators (number of publications, articles with the highest coverage of the cluster, the most frequently cited references, etc.), although this situation has become less marked recently. Secondly, the results show that women who succeed in transportation tend to specialize in specific disciplines such as psychology, medicine, mathematics or engineering. Finally, the results indicate that, in academic publications, the field of transport does not appear to be at the forefront in terms of gender balance.
