Participation of Latina Women as Authors in Behavior Analytic Research

We reviewed publications in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB), Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA), Perspectives on Behavior Science (PBS), and Behavior Analysis in Practice (BAP) to identify Latina researchers. We analyzed journal articles based on the authors’ institutional affiliation—for the purpose of identifying researchers with Latin American affiliations—and separately conducted a surname analysis. The data show an increase in the number of Latina researchers who have contributed to JEAB, JABA, PBS (1997–2022), and BAP (2008–2022). The increases varied across journals, with JABA and BAP having the highest number of Latina researchers. These analyses are important because they provide data reflecting the participation of Latinas in four leading journals.
