Reference lists of neuroscience articles show marked gender imbalances. To mitigate this disparity, we discuss relevant ethical considerations and offer practical recommendations to scientists of all ages. We envision an equitable future by all scientists for all scientists.

Keywords: citations; diversity; ethics; recommendations; reference lists; responsible conduct of research.
