The cumulative disparity in relative success rates for papers authored by women compared to men

	Relative probability of positive outcome cumulative through entire review process Female/Male authors
	Revision invited	Revision or resubmission invited
First author	0.925 ± 0.045	0.958 ± 0.020
Senior author	0.948 ± 0.033	0.905 ± 0.026
Corresponding author	0.914 ± 0.039	0.963 ± 0.026

Values are the probability of a positive outcome (female author)/probability of a positive outcome (male author), cumulative through the entire editorial and peer‐review process. Values <1 indicate that papers with female authors are less likely to have a positive outcome. Means are averaged across journals, with the reported standard error calculated from the among‐journal variance.
