    Maybe some of the women were also not trackable anymore because they changed their surname, in contrast to them not publishing anymore. Didn’t read all of it, did they account for that?

      I think (I am not that deep into science publishing) every author gets an ID under which they publish. Even with a name change this ID stays the same.
