Evidence-based approaches for promoting gender equity in global mental health research: Study protocol for social network analysis of researchers in Nepal

There are increasing efforts for capacity building of researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to foster local ability to conduct high quality research. However, female researchers remain underrepresented in scientific communities, particularly in LMIC where they have limited networkin...
