    In this study we analyse gender equality in the preparation, supervision and defence of PhD theses in Spain in the period 1990-2004. The results indicate a tendency towards greater equality in the number of men and women successfully completing doctoral studies. However, the gender imbalance among thesis supervisors and on thesis assessment boards is more apparent, with a predominance of male academics. Moreover, the gender of the PhD student is clearly related to the gender of the supervisor, and both are related to the gender of the members of the assessment boards of PhD theses in Spain. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

    This paper analyses the scientific output and impact of 731 Ph. D. holders who were awarded their doctorate at Spanish universities between 1990 and 2002. The aim was to identify any differences in the amount of scientific output and the impact of publications, in terms of citations, according to gender. The analysis revealed no significant differences in the amount of scientific output between males and females. However, the proportion of female Ph. D. holders with no postdoctoral output was significantly higher than that of their male counterparts, and the median number of papers published after Ph. D. completion was also lower among women. As regards pre- and postdoctoral research, the data showed that early scientific output may be a good predictor of subsequent productivity in both gender groups. The results also indicated that articles by female Ph. D. holders were cited significantly more often, even when self-citations were excluded. © Akadémiai KiadÓ, Budapest, Hungary 2009.

    This study aims to identify possible gender imbalances in the scholarly output of Spanish researchers in several areas of science through a study of documents published in 2007 extracted from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science (WoS). The researchers' scientific output was studied through two indicators: publication practices (signing order of authors in the documents and proportion of females per article) and impact of the articles (measured through the number of citations received). The results show that in all scientific areas the average proportion of female authors per article and presence of women signing as first author were lower than for men. Moreover, in some disciplines, there was a statistically significant relationship between the gender of the first author and the proportion of female authors in the article, which was higher when the first author was female. However, no significant differences were found in the number of citations received between articles signed by a male or a female or in the proportion of females present in the documents. In summary, the study highlights a gender bias towards the presence of females in different areas of science, although the impact of the research conducted by the two genders seems to be similar. © AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH Vienna 2013.
