Equity for Women in Science
Cassidy R. Sugimoto, Vincent Larivière
Abstract
Equity for Women in Science is the first large-scale empirical study of the global gender gap in science. Analyzing millions of scientific papers, the authors show that women are undervalued for their labor in science as measured through publications and citations. The data also reveal how the scientific community can promote equity.
