Countries
World maps summarising gender balance, field representation, and editorial density per country, followed by the full country list. All maps are built from the same dataset as the Explore page.
% female editors per country
Red ≈ 0% · yellow ≈ 25% · green ≥ 50%. Grey = below the editor threshold. Hatched = low gender-inference coverage (< 60% of editors classifiable; see methodology).
Field representation by country
Share of each country's editors working in the selected field. Pick a field on the right.
Editorial representation, normalised
Editors per 1,000 researchers in the country (editors ÷ (population × researchers-per-million ÷ 1000)). A higher value means the country contributes more editors relative to the size of its research workforce.
Colour scale is logarithmic so that a handful of outlier countries do not compress the rest of the world into a single hue. Grey = denominator unavailable. Toggle "per million people" to switch to a population-normalised view.

Editorial representation vs. publication output
Ratio = country's share of global editorial positions ÷ country's share of global publications (OpenAlex). A value of 1.0 means the country is proportionally represented; > 1 = over-represented on editorial boards relative to research output; < 1 = under-represented. Blue = under-represented, white = proportional, red = over-represented. Grey = data unavailable.
ORCID coverage per country
Share of unique editors in each country who carry an ORCID. ORCID adoption varies sharply by region and career stage — darker = more editors resolvable to a persistent identifier. Grey = below the editor threshold.
