Abstract Purpose:To elucidate trends of the gender gap in authorship in Rinsho Ganka(Ringan)and Nippon Gngagakkai Zashi(Nichigan)during a 60-year period from 1961 to 2020.

Materials and methods:Relevant bibliometric information was obtained from the Japanese medical literature database “Ichu-shi Web”. The genders of the first and last authors of each article were defined by their first name according to the traditional gender-specific naming in Japanese people. The gender imbalance indicator was used by calculating the percentage of women as first and last authors.

Results:Overall for a 60-year period, the percentage of the female first authors were 26.4% in Ringn and 17.1% in Nichigan, respectively, and that of the female last authors were 12.7% in Ringan and 12.6% in Nichigan, respectively, with a significant increasing trend in the proportion of female first author and a significant decreasing trend in the proportion of female last authors. In the most recent decade(2011-2020), the percentage of female first authors in Ringan and Nichigan has increased to 39.3% and 31.7%, respectively, while on the other hand, the low percentage of female last authors has remained unchanged at 10.3%(Ringan)and 12.1%(Nichigan)in the two journals.

Conclusions:Women were significantly underrepresented as the first and last authors of original articles be less in Ringan over a 60-year period 1961-2020. However, the gender imbalance tended to disappear for the first author in recent decades.
