This study provides a bibliometric mapping of global gender equality research to examine patterns of
authorship, productivity, and scholarly influence. Findings reveal a persistent concentration of academic
output within a small group of highly productive authors and institutions, reflecting Lotka’s principle that
a minority of contributors produce the majority of publications (Lotka, 1926). Institutions from the Global
North continue to dominate publication landscapes, while voices from the Global South, despite their
centrality to lived experiences of gender-based inequities, remain underrepresented (Connell, 2014).
Citation indicators such as the h-index, g-index, and total citation counts demonstrate that frequent
publishing often correlates with academic visibility; however, several impactful researchers achieve
significant influence even with fewer outputs, suggesting that meaningful contributions emerge beyond
productivity metrics alone (Bornmann & Leydesdorff, 2014). Anchored in the theme “Breaking Barriers and
Building Futures,” this bibliometric analysis underscores the need to democratize knowledge production
by expanding opportunities for marginalized scholars, fostering transnational collaboration, and
challenging structural barriers within academic publishing. By illuminating disparities and highlighting
emerging voices, the study calls for a more inclusive and equitable research environment that reflects
diverse feminist perspectives and contributes to transformative social change.
