Text

To gain insight into the proportion of human genetics studies that include sex differences in their analyses, literature searches were conducted using two search engines: PubMed and Web of Science (note that we did not curate or trim the search results in anyway). PubMed was used because it is the standard search engine in biomedical research, is human curated, and only searches titles/abstracts/keywords. Web of Science, like PubMed, is human curated and searches titles/abstracts/keywords, but has the added benefit of sorting results by the number of times an article is cited, allowing us to focus on only high-impact articles (defined as an article cited ≥100 times). Both searches were limited to human subjects.
