We wrote a thing on gender & geography journal editorial teams. You'll never guess what we found @CaitHRobin @VikkiHouldenPhD @darribas @DrDelmelle @udemsar @MobileHarv + D. O'Sullivan.

So het up about a Twitter conversation that we decided to write about it, which is a first for me anyway https://twitter.com/rsfrankl/status/1258296393917227015?s=20
We focus specifically on quantitative human geography journals, including flagship publications in population, transportation and GIScience. We look not only at gender balance in editorial teams, but also "academic age" and geography of academic affiliation.
There's lots to read and look at in the paper, but basically, in a nutshell--like the rest of human geography--our journal editorial teams are pretty male and pretty North America/Europe-centric 
My most favourite thing in the paper are the "population pyramids" we construct to show academic age/gender distributions. One of my co-authors called them Tetris diagrams and I 
that name. Calling out @GeogAnalysis here, because I edit it & because we do almost ok on gender

My 2nd favourite thing was the collaborative effort of writing the paper. The first such effort for me and it left me with ALL the warm and fuzzies about the people in my discipline, even if we have lots to do where gatekeeping and access are concerned
And to show that old(er) dogs can also learn new tricks, this is my first preprint ever! Feeling pretty proud @OSFramework @socarxiv
