One day last year, we opened a journal web page and were excited to find a long-awaited paper about a particular brain area’s role in a cognitive computation. The authors, based on talks they had given at conferences, had a different take on this brain area compared with another high-profile paper, and we were curious to learn more. But our hopes were soon dashed: The new paper didn’t cite the previous one, published only a year before and with female first and last authors.
