Women in Science: Their Contribution in Marine Drugs

Dear Colleagues,

Social scientists christened as the “Matilda Effect” the phenomenon in which women are underrepresented among the most visible STEM scientists. This is because women scientists’ contribution in science is overlooked or misattributed to their male colleagues. With this Special Issue, we wish to highlight women’s contributions to marine drug research and facilitate collaboration opportunities for women scientists. This will be a little step to increase women’s presence in top academic and industrial leadership positions and among award winners.

Moreover, we strongly encourage research integrating sex and gender analysis into study and innovation processes.

We strongly welcome contributions in the field of marine drugs submitted by women corresponding authors or first name authors: this is the only requirement to submit to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Valeria Costantino
Guest Editor
