"The passage does not explicitly state a specific target percentage for increasing the representation of women in authorship roles. However, one relevant quote suggests the ultimate goal is equal 50% representation: "you mentioned it's it's up to about 35% now um but that's still not 50% and um you know having people from among that 35% step forward to say hey I would be good at this" This quote is referring to the current 35% representation of women on editorial boards, which Dr. Collins notes is "still not 50%". By contrasting it with 50%, the implication is that achieving an equal 50% representation of women is the desired end goal, at least for editorial board membership. While not directly stated for authorship roles, it can be reasonably inferred that an equal 50% gender distribution is likely the target there as well, to achieve true parity and overcome historic underrepresentation of women." why stop at 50%, why not 60 or 70%.
