ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the authors discuss the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL), its history, the international context of its foundation, the specificities of its method of analysis, and some elements to explain its institutional organization. Primarily based on the information available at the CEPAL Digital Repository—such as the list and content of the publications—they introduce the trajectory of the ten most prolific of the CEPAL's female authors. The authors also discuss the inequalities of the online visibility of the CEPAL women. Concerning online visibility: They noted that out of the ten women, only two have a Wikipedia page: Alicia Barcena Ibarra, and Stephany Griffith-Jones, the North American economist. Concerning the visibility of the ten most prolific men, eight have a personal website, seven have an Academia page, and eight have their CVs online; the men's visibility is broadly apparent. In comparison, the most prolific women authors are still invisible.
