Title:  The Plight of Women in Finance Journals 

Abstract:  This paper uses a unique hand collected dataset based of 37 journals (ranked A or above on the Australian Deans Council 2016 ABDC journal ranking list) to examine the plight of women publishing and as journal editors, in academic finance journals. We investigate if the journal ranking, linkage to a professional association, age of the journal or publisher firm impacts the level of publications by females. Also, we examine if there is a higher representation of women as editors, if that leads to a higher level of published papers by women. Finally, we investigate where a journal has a higher proportion of higher ranked women editors, if that plays a part in the proportion of papers published by females.
