Describe the problem you would like to solve
For greater equity, diversity and transparency some regional regulations (ie: EU) require a more clear description of the gender/country distribution for the journal’s stuff. Editors and readers could be also interested in this information.

Describe the solution you’d like
A distribution map and a graph of the number of genders could be included as a sidebar plugin or attached in the statistics page of each journal.

Who is asking for this feature?
Editors, Authors, Reviewers, Auditors, etc.

Said that… I also need to explain that I like a lot your petition, that by the way is very align with new EU rules and indicators for journals.

Your mockup is very clear to me and denotes that a new “gender” field need to be associated with users.

I would suggest extending your “feature request” with two elements:

  • Include 3 separate sections: Editors (board members), Reviewers and Authors.
  • Let editors decide if they want to make any of this sections public or private (ie: show board, but hide Reviewers and Autor’s graphics).

Please, don’t forget to “make up” the FR with the forum template to promote your petition.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,
m.

Sure but we are trying to normalize the feature request first posts so people could read them faster and decide if they like the proposal or not.

We use this post as an example.

I modified the first post in your behalf. ReEdit as you wish if something don’t fit your proposal.
