I refrain from providing the statistics for the entire online history of the journal because that would be misleading: as can be easily observed below, while for the first 11 years (1997-2007) female authors constituted about 50%, in the last four years their number plummeted dramatically (to 21%). Angelika Kratzer, when I asked her, supplied me with the following information (March 2012):
I looked at all the rejections for our journal since November 2006. There were 69. Out of those 69 manuscripts, 49, hence 70%, were by male authors (I checked webpages, Facebook etc. in those cases where the gender of the author was not obvious from the name).
We currently have 21 papers out for revisions. Out of those, 11 are by male authors.
The statistics are for the issues available on the Springer
website
Only research articles are included
