COMMENTARY Reply to commentaries about “Gender issues in fundamental physics: A bibliometric analysis” Alessandro Strumia Physicist, Fauglia (Italy) My bibliometric study about fundamental physics and gender (Strumia, 2021) received four commentaries: Andersen, Nielsen, and Schneider (2021), Ball, Britton et al. (2021), Hossenfelder (2021), and Thelwall (2021). One commentary replicated the analysis: Sabine Hossenfelder (the only author of the commentaries who works in fundamental physics) writes:
